Brian #1: GitHub action security: zizmor Article: Ned Batchelder zizmor: William Woodruff & others “a new tool to check your GitHub action workflows for security concerns.” Install with cargo or brew, then point it at workflow yml files. It reports security concerns. Michael #2: Python is now the top language on GitHub Thanks to Pat Decker for the heads up. A rapidly growing number of developers worldwide This suggests AI isn't just helping more people learn to write code or build software faster—it's also attracting and helping more people become developers. First-time open source contributors continue to show wide-scale interest in AI projects. But we aren't seeing signs that AI has hurt open source with low-quality contributions. Python is now the most used language on GitHub as global open source activity continues to extend beyond traditional software development. The rise in Python usage correlates with large communities of people joining the open source community from across the STEM world rather than the traditional community of software developers. There's a continued increase in first-time contributors to open source projects. 1.4 million new developers globally joined open source with a majority contributing to commercially backed and generative AI projects. Notably, we did not see a rise in rejected pull requests. This could indicate that quality remains high despite the influx of new contributors. Brian #3: Python 3.13, what didn't make the headlines Some pretty cool updates to pdb : the command line Python debugger multiline editing code completion pathlib has a bunch of performance updates python -m venv adds a .gitignore file that auto ignores the venv.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
When you think about the power of Python, the clean language or powerful standard library may come to mind. You might certainly point to the external packages too. But what about the relative ease of picking up new libraries or even parts of the standard library? Documentation plays an important role there. And the tools in the Python space for building solid documentation and even publishing articles and books involving live code are huge assets. In this episode, we have Paul Everitt, Pradyun Gedam, Chris Holdgraf, and Chris Sewell to update us on Sphinx, MyST-Parser, ExecutableBooks, JupyerBook, Sphinx Themes, and much more.

Special guest: Matt Kramer (@__matt_kramer__) Michael #1: Survey results Question 1: Question 2: In terms of too long, the “extras” section has started at these times in the last 4 episodes: 39m, 32m, 35m, and 33m ~= 34m on average Brian #2: Modern attrs API attrs overview now focus on using @define History of attrs article: import attrs, by Hynek predecessor was called characteristic. A discussion between Glyph and Hynek in 2015 about where to take the idea. attrs popularity takes off in 2016 after a post by Glyph: The One Python Library Everyone Needs In 2017 people started wanting something like attrs in std library. Thus PEP 557 and dataclasses. Hynek, Eric Smith, and Guido discuss it at PyCon US 2017. dataclasses, with a subset of attrs functionality, was introduced in Python 3.7. Types take off. attrs starts supporting type hints as well, even before Python 3.7 Post 3.7, some people start wondering if they still need attrs, since they have dataclasses. @define, field() and other API improvements came with attrs 20.1.0 in 2020. attrs 21.3.0 released in December, with what Hynek calls “Modern attrs”. OG attrs: import attr @attr.s class Point: x = attr.ib() y = attr.ib() modern attrs: from attr import define @define class Point: x: int y: int Many reasons to use attrs listed in Why not…, which is an excellent read. why not dataclasses? less powerful than attrs, intentionally attrs has validators, converters, equality customization, … attrs doesn't force type annotation if you don't like them slots on by default, dataclasses only support slots in Python 3.10 and are off by default attrs can and will move faster See also comparisons with pydantic, named tuples, tuples, dicts, hand-written classes Matt #3: Crafting Interpreters Wanting to learn more about how Python works “under the hood”, I first read Anthony Shaw's CPython internals book A fantastic, detailed overview of how CPython is implemented Since I don't have a formal CS background, I found myself wanting to learn a bit more about the fundamentals Parsing, Tokenization, Bytecode, data structures, etc. Crafting Interpreters is an incredible book by Bob Nystrom (on Dart team at Google) Although not Python, you walk through the implementation of a dynamic, interpreted language from scratch Implement same language (called lox) in two interpreters First a direct evaluation of Abstract Syntax Tree, written in Java Second is a bytecode interpreter, written from the ground up in C, including a compiler Every line of code is in the book, it is incredibly well-written and beautifully rendered I highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about language design & implementation Michael #4: Yamele - A schema and validator for YAML via Andrew Simon A basic schema: name: str() age: int(max=200) height: num() awesome: bool() And some YAML that validates: name: Bill age: 26 height: 6.2 awesome: True Take a look at the Examples section for more complex schema ideas. ⚠️ Ensure that your schema definitions come from internal or trusted sources. Yamale does not protect against intentionally malicious schemas. Brian #5: pympler Inspired by something Bob Belderbos wrote about sizes of objects, I think. “Pympler is a development tool to measure, monitor and analyze the memory behavior of Python objects in a running Python application. By pympling a Python application, detailed insight in the size and the lifetime of Python objects can be obtained. Undesirable or unexpected runtime behavior like memory bloat and other “pymples” can easily be identified.” 3 separate modules for profiling asizeof module provides basic size information for one or several Python objects muppy is used for on-line monitoring of a Python application Class Tracker provides off-line analysis of the lifetime of selected Python objects. asizeof is what I looked at recently In contrast to sys.getsizeof, asizeof sizes objects recursively. You can use one of the asizeof functions to get the size of these objects and all associated referents: >>> from pympler import asizeof >>> obj = [1, 2, (3, 4), 'text'] >>> asizeof.asizeof(obj) 176 >>> print(asizeof.asized(obj, detail=1).format()) [1, 2, (3, 4), 'text'] size=176 flat=48 (3, 4) size=64 flat=32 'text' size=32 flat=32 1 size=16 flat=16 2 size=16 flat=16 “Function flatsize returns the flat size of a Python object in bytes defined as the basic size plus the item size times the length of the given object.” Matt #6: hvPlot Interactive hvPlot is a high-level plotting API that is part of the PyData ecosystem, built on HoloViews My colleague Phillip Rudiger recently gave a talk at PyData Global on a new .interactive feature Here's an announcement in the HoloViz forum Allows integration of widgets directly into pandas analysis pipeline (method-chain), so you can add interactivity to your notebook for exploratory data analysis, or serve it as a Panel app Gist & video by Marc Skov Madsen Extras Michael: Typora app, recommended!

Have you considered why only four letters? I really liked the thought process going into that. That's actually touched upon in the blog post. I'm not sure that you covered it in the lectures, but I think it's just really great to have something that's barely minimal enough that it covers the span of everything that we organize our information because I think in past attempts, I know I have probably, this is a common experience, you try to organize all the things and then you have like 15 different categories to spot stuff in and you just get overwhelmed because you're like, I don't know where to put stuff in. So the second week, week two is really about organization. So that's what we're trying to optimize for.And that's what PARA is. Christopher says some of the mentors have modified the acronym shock. What, what modifications have they said? Some mentors only have PAR or PA. Yeah. I will say my A and my R are merged, Maria says PTARA for tasks with silent T that's. Cool. Yeah, because you do need tasks as well. So I'll mention something about your calendar as a to-do list, because that's pretty important. Someone should blog about that because then you scoop Tiago. Alright. Okay. So I'm going to get started and I'm going to try to keep the chat alive. Housekeeping [00:01:09]This is a little bit stressful as always, cause I'm not used to such a big zoom but thanks for everyone for making the time on the weekend. This is the notion advanced group that I lead. It's Sundays at 5:00 PM, as you might know. And it's a very developer focused the meet up because there are a lot of developers in BASB, but we do try to keep it generally accessible. Part and just I'm going to give an agenda that's happening cause last time it didn't. So you know what to expect and you can jump off if you have other stuff going on. So we're going to do a little bit of content recap. I got very positive feedback from last week about what did we cover this week? From my point of view, and then we'll talk a little bit about projects versus areas. I'll give some extra content around what I think para is. I don't have, I didn't modify the acronym. That's a very smart move. I wasn't smart enough to think about that. And then we'll just have a general Q&A . Last time we went for 90 minutes, this one, we try to keep it to an hour, but.Some housekeeping, the three rules that we have from zero, because we start at zero in this house stupid questions are welcome Second rule Often beats perfect. So don't try to do it right, but I try to do the best, just do it a lot and you'll find that you do more than if you try to do the best and third rule this is a discussion, not a lecture, so I'm not an expert and I don't have the right answer. And I fully welcome people here to answer questions that other people have asked, because I don't know the right answer as well. So it's a discussion that I'm facilitating. So that's the framing that I want to set for this session. Content Recap [00:02:34] Okay. So now into the content recap I'm just basically going to pick the three best slides that I thought really represented this week. So if you remember nothing else from this week, hopefully you remember these slides.So the primary thing I think that everyone needs to get from this week is that completed creative projects by the oxygen of your second brain. In other words, action. Right. Or what did someone say at the start of the session, christopher said, para is a methodology to organize the action ability, basically like optimize for taking action, nothing else matters.And your system needs to help you get there. And your second brain has helped me get there. I like the metaphor of oxygen because without oxygen, your second brain is going to starve. And I definitely find that very true of myself. We all have stuff, we haven't competed. And then we just reinforced this identity of a person who does not complete projects. So the smaller your ambitions the more you can feed them the more you have reinforces image of someone who completes projects and you get more done. This is PARA in one slide, very ambitious. I basically wanted to summarize, what the main aspects of PARAwe should have for those who might've missed it. I did share the slide deck, so you don't have to screenshot or anything. So I'm going to share that in the chat right now. Well, it's actually P stands for projects, A stands for Area, R stands for resource and archive is basically inactive items from all three categories. And one of the key insights is that it's arranged in order for more actionable to less actionable.And the other order that you see as well is that there are less projects in there. There should be the most number of archives. So I think if you saw Tiago live session, he showed you his own Evernote where he actually showed like the number of projects was like 5% of the total number of notes that he was taking and yet hundreds of archives.And that's what the rough order that you shouldn't taking it. Things can also move fluidly between categories. So something to start off as a project and then broaden out into an area and eventually make his way to an archive, but he can also make us wait the other way. So that's the purpose of this blue and green circle things that's going on. And then finally, the thing that he wanted to really drive home with the project list was that the project should be connected to a goal. And a goal should be connected to a project and the project without a goal is a hobby. And then go without a project. It's a dream because you don't have plans to accomplish it.So that's para in a slide for me. I that's why I like asking people to summarize what para is, because I think it's a very personal thing because it's the way you organize your information. But I think trying to have a decent summary of what para is for other people helps you internalize it as well.Partially why I'm doing this mentorship thing. Okay. So I think there's something that people have really tried to struggle with is the difference between projects and areas. That's something that toggle mentioned, in, in David Allen's book, getting things done. He mentioned that the people can surprisingly have a lot of difficulty separating between projects and areas. So project has an outcome to achieve, and it hasn't been like, whereas an area has a standard with no deadline, but as per the standard quality while we were at 50 people already. Okay. So, I just want to share people. Yes. Someone asked me just like that again, it's down here.But I just want to see in the chat a little bit This week, your homework was to figure out your project list and sort your stuff into projects that areas. So what are some examples of projects that you have identified for yourself? If you can just share in the chat that'd be really great. I just want to see people's projects and I can give more examples if you want. Dennis's project is a weekly podcast episode.Very nice, man. He says tax filing for 2020. I hope he got that done. Cause I think the deadline was tomorrow or Friday. I got my, I thought that I thought the tax filing deadline was April 15th. So I got my deadline there. I think everyone should have a extension automatic extension for tech solving.Sam Wong says crypto training and seminar. That's excellent. Excellent. So all of these have defined deadlines except for Dennis. Dennis has a weekly podcast episode. Arguably that's not a project it's not specific enough. It has to be this week's podcast episode. Yani is project. Very good. I was hoping for this on and Karen as well. What would them, once you complete the ASB and have a functional second Brain by June obviously that's something that we all hope to get you to at the end of the day Maria says she wants to work on newsletter volume three. Peter brace has a very specific work within the deal. Close the deal with jet Beck. Good luck, Peter. I hope you close that deal. I'm working on a couple of deals at work as well, and Yeah, well is out of my control sometimes. You just, once you've done all the paperwork, yeah. Okay. Slobodan an interesting one, implement power for kids and powerful family.So this is another level of, once you really internalize para, you want to do it for work. You want to do it for family. You want to do it for kids. It's super interesting. Just, take it easy. It's a long game. Okay. And Christopher Horn wants to refactor notes. Is that what Gaston by me, 16th? Yeah, have a deadline. And see a lot of people with desired outcomes, but make sure you have a deadline, make sure it's not too far in the future. And if it's too big you gotta break it down. You go more to something achievable because of the motivational factor of completing projects.Oh, we do have a question from Sam Wong. I think this is relevant to Dennis. The other person want to do podcasts. So Sam Wong's question is how do you handle monthly tasks, invoicing, for example, it is a project when it repeats.Yeah. So you have an area of responsibility, which is a would you say standard to be maintained and it doesn't have a deadline. It just keeps repeating, but it spins out projects every month. That is one way to think about it. But obviously if it's a task, like if it's, if it can be done in one session then it's less of a project and more like a task that you can probably knock it out in five minutes or something.Then yeah, that's why I think people, when they establish a fifth category apart from PARA probably the other one that makes sense is T the task category. So, we'll talk about that at the end. But essentially I just put it on my calendar as like thing I need to get done. There's no point having a to-do lists because the to-do lists.It very wishy-washy it doesn't actually set aside time. So you might as well use your calendar as a, to do this. That's the I'm giving away the ending there, but that's, that's really the conclusion. Okay. I had some feature quotes from this one this week. I thought this week where it's particularly quote worthy, I like collecting quotes. And in fact, if you notice in the circle community, there is a section just for quotes. And I think quotes can help you really crystallize some of the learnings. And that's why I wanted to focus on some, but please feel free to share also in the chat some course that you liked Or did it stuck in your head?You don't have to get it precisely right. But try to remember some quotes because you're going to have to repeat them for yourself, for other people. So one thing I think people don't focus on enough is the importance of archiving. So this is why I want to feature this quote here. We can not do our best thinking when all the information from the past is cutting our attention.That's why that archive stuff is so crucial. Right? That's actually the first thing that he showed how to do in his live demo. The other thing, and this is very much in line with, well, number one, I think that we had the value. It doesn't come from the tool. It comes to you using it repeated thing. So despite people really identifying themselves by the tool, right? Like, we are the notion group. Then they're getting teams that the wrong group and never the Twain shall meet. It's less about the tool because the tool will come and go and it's more budgets getting more use out of the tool. Same for blogs, by the way, a lot of people resolve to start a blog and then they'll write the blog.And they'll say like, you know how I wrote this blog? The first book was a bit of a world. Of course, second blog would be how I meet this blog. And then third blog posts would be, sorry, it's been a while since I last updated. And that blog will be less updated as a two years ago. So definitely, well, you don't want to have that kind of thing where you're, over-invested picking the tool and then you never use it.Okay. So, and then difference between projects in areas, projects of sprints areas and marathons. So you do want to go for sustainability in areas and then projects juggle says, give it everything you've got. That may be a little bit harsh, but I do definitely sprint a lot for some something projects, which a lot of should have blogging.Right. But also when I published my book last year I realized I didn't. I didn't introduce that part of myself but for those one year two micro yes. Part of the reason why this is an advanced group for BSB is that I do definitely want to people to ship and even make money from shipping.So if you, if your intent is to publish a video or a book something from as a capstone for this course, this is the right group for you. And I'm definitely open to questions about that. Okay. Finally, a project without a goal is a hobby. You go without a project is a dream. That's not something we covered earlier and completed creative project. So the oxygen of your second brain. So that's that those are the quotes that I pulled out. I do definitely encourage you to save your own quotes. That's probably one of my main research areas or just like collecting quotes, I do like collecting quotes and questions.Okay. Brief reminder that you can also share your stuff here in, in the project list on, on the circle. And I think it's a very good motivational tool to check out what other people are working on and how to how to see what's what's happening there. Q&A: Constancy/Consistency [00:11:17] Questions and discussion on this week's content in general.Speaker1: [00:11:20] So I raised my hand on the interface, which I'm doing for the first time from an iPad. So I had to reach for it as well. My question is you were talking about the value of what I characterize as constancy, the repetition, the rigor that's my number one problem. And I don't know that I'm unique in that.There's always, I read somewhere that there's always this point when you're cultivating a new mental model or skillset or whatever, That works. It works, it works. And then all of a sudden, the old way that you used to be rears its head and tries to pull you back in and then you fall off of it. And I guess I'm wondering, based on anybody's feedback here, what is the best practice around achieving or cultivating or keeping that constancy?swyx: [00:12:00] Is there a reason you call it a constancy instead of consistency? Speaker1: [00:12:03] Because I'm weird. Okay. That's cool. I read a lot of, I read a lot of archaic texts and when I say constancy of probably drawing from Thomas Jefferson, which I was just reading this morning. Sorry. I apologize. swyx: [00:12:17] Wonderful. I mean, Hey, he's a good person to learn from. Does anyone have thoughts on constancy? Feel free to speak up? I can give some thoughts, but I didn't want to take all the air in the room. Joseph I don't know how to pronounce the last name. Sorry. You need to form a habit, which means it takes around 60 days to form. I like that. So a lot of consistency or constancyis about identity.I like this. I like this thing about identity change that James Claire has. So he has this three circle thing. We're effectively doing some kind of behavior change and this is. This is effective for para is effective for capture and the other habits that you're going to learn in the other weeks of the class.So, it's around your identity, right? So check out this, there is a behavior change idea. So they're, three shells to your model, right? Like, so, there's your appearance, there's what you do. And then there's your identity, how you, how you think about yourself. So, you can try to be the person who do, who does like a hundred pushups in a row, or do PARA for 60 days. That's a very forced motivational thing. Like you can publicly commit to it. You can pay a charity and say like, if I don't know, if I don't complete this, I will lose some money.There are a lot of little tricks that really hack at the outward appearance of that. Then there's the performance, like the actual actions you take to ensure that you do that. So, so that can be like actually doing the thing. So instead of saying that you're doing it, you actually do the thing.But the one that really sticks with you is identity change. Once you to say, I am a person who does PARA for me, I am now a BSB mentor. Which means I am someone who just like inherently people can come to me to talk to for BASB advice. That has changed the way I approach BASB, because now it's part of my identity and someone who identifies as someone who's cause forming the habit was capturing this building a second, bring.You don't need some trick. It's just a thing that you do. If you're a religious person, you just go to church, you don't have some counter of like how many times I've been to church in a row. You just go. And if you it's okay to break it every now and then, but then you pick the rabbit up again because that's your identity.To me, that's the most motivational thing I don't need anything else, but joseph just let me have other thoughts as well. Yeah, peter says, I prefer to keep my identity inconsistent so that doesn't work too well for me. You do it, you are allowed to change your identity and that, that is a fluid concept. So yeah. Are there other forms of commitment to me work as well? Okay. Hopefully that was a decent start. Thank you for breaking the ice.Q&A: Maintaining the Second Brain [00:14:34] There was another question here, but I'm going to, I'm going to acknowledge Yanni, who has had her hand.Speaker2: [00:14:37] So I think it's actually probably can be a followup out the previous question that Christopher dresser mentioned. I think first of all, thank you so much for sharing the identity part, because I think that's a big owl consider as a principal that I can follow up.I can think of, but now the question is the implementation of that identity. I think I think about the consistency aspect of the second brain comes out the main tennis aspects. So I'm curious about how you maintain your second brain. I used to just unconsciously associate the main tenants as a reviewing process.It can be, but I'm just curious you, Shawn, as a person who creates a lot of value on a weekly or monthly basis, I'm curious how you're maintaining your second brain. At the implementation level. swyx: [00:15:20] Yeah, I knew I was going to be asked this and I knew I was going to have a terrible answer for this. So Maria, you might want to do you might want to show your system in case I fail and crashed and burned, but I'm just going to be brutally honest. I don't do much maintenance. I I do rent, so I do have I have show this in the past preview. So, these are resources. I don't. I started on with para and that was a year ago and things have evolved since then.So part of I've been told that it's actually a good idea to show people how para is used in real life, that it shows you that it's okay not to be perfect because Tiago is perfect PARA. So I do have projects. One of them is BASB mentoring, for example, that's what we're on today.And I do have resources that I share. I do have special categories of resources. These are just resources that I have for myself. But for example, when I worked at Amazon, I did have public resources that I shared is it public notion. And I think Sharon dozers, reusable resources are, is very helpful because it's no extra work on your part.Other people might find it very valuable. And I do encourage showing the resources as far as maintenance go, actually. The, so the other part of my system is simple note. I do a lot of review on weekends. So every Saturday I do my newsletter and the newsletter helps me triage things as they come in. And that goes in from right to left . From simple note, which is my quick access thing. That's always fast cause notions slow into notion in the right categories. So that's really it for me, in terms of maintenance maria, I don't know if you want to jump in and you have anything to add for maintenance.Speaker3: [00:16:47] Yeah, I put something in the chat about it just really depends on what I care about. So, my projects are maintained daily and then I have a weekly review where I think about like the areas in my life that are most relevant. So it really depends on like what I care about now. And then I organize as I, as things come up.Yeah, so that's, that's about me. That's depends so much on how I do it in notion, but it's like the mindset around that.swyx: [00:17:16] I think it's a good idea to set like a quarterly or annual reminder to archive all the things. And that's something I haven't done, just quite, quite frankly I haven't done any archiving. I have just a mess of stuff since I took BSD last year. So I really should archive it, check out this thing where I say, Oh, projects, I didn't really archive anything. So it's a good idea to clear the deck every now and then. And just like Jonah says, don't be afraid about archiving stuff. You can, it's always still in the same system. You can always search it. Christopher says he archives annually. That's something that's good as well over a visual overwhelming is a real thing. All right. Thanks, Danny. Thanks. Good question for that. Q&A: Weaknesses of PARA [00:17:55]Julian says, Julian Alvarez says what weaknesses and drawbacks have you experienced implementing PARA and how can those be addressed? So I think a lot of people have talked about the weaknesses, which is that it doesn't have any room for tests. Julian. So the way that I think about tasks is that so I do have a work to do list. That's a lot of my stuff. I do have 70, this is like the most overused of simple note. I'm not sure if this is like the right thing. I do a lot of speaking, so here's my speaking calendar. So I make sure I'm on top of my my talks and I'm recording and speaking.My blogging goes here. That's essentially all it all. I need, in order to inform my personal stuff, my worst stuff has a different notion tracker, which I probably should not show and publicly. But then I also have this concept of the calendar is a to-do list. So, you're on Kevin calendar as a, to do list. So, I have written that up here. I'm going to share that in the chat. But I do like basically this idea of time block planning that when you want to get stuff done attach it to a time just thinking it to do this without any notion of priority or amount of time estimated to complete is not enough.So that's that's, what's going on over there. If anyone else had like weaknesses, a para that they've come across, I'll just leave room for one more response. Yes. Nope. Okay, parents. Perfect. I am interested in the other questions, the other formulations of para. Q&A: Broken Links in Notion [00:19:16] I'm going to go to Juliana now who also has her hand raised Hey, hi. Speaker4: [00:19:20] Right. So, it's a question about archiving things. I started setting up my bearer and I already have I already have a task management system, so I have a database with the tasks and I started to another database with the projects and another for the areas and another for the resource.And I, I thought it was a great idea because I could Link all the stuff and make relations like in the database, but I'm having difficult. I, sorry about my English. I am, I'm having a hard time to archiving these things because when I try to move to another archive database, I lost, I lose the relations.swyx: [00:20:13] Oh, okay. Got it. So I don't Speaker4: [00:20:16] know if somebody has the same problem and could help me. And swyx: [00:20:21] and yeah, I think that's it. Great question. I have no idea how to answer this. Cause I don't have a solution for that as well. Christopher Horn says I created a page and I'm city and that collects all open tasks into one master page.I put it into a template for my daily planning notes. Joshua says filter status of archive works. Okay. So you add a filter status, Juliana, like basically add a filter. Nope. That could work. Speaker4: [00:20:44] Yeah. I filter the task in dance, but like, the projects in the areas, maybe like putting a filter might be good.swyx: [00:20:54] Yeah. Speaker4: [00:20:55] But then I wouldn't, well, I C I can create another view of the database and just filter with the archive.swyx: [00:21:04] Okay. Joshua. Yeah ductal Joshua is sharing what what works for him? Yeah, we do use views at work for what it's worth notion is our project management too. I work as well. So yes. Music grief for that. Correct. Yeah. In terms of breaking relations I don't actually know how to fix that. If you move stuff around, I don't move stuff enough to, to answer that I do like duplication. So I'd rather copy and paste that link. But that's just me. I know that people like to link back and forth when stuff I think the backlink functionality in notion is pretty good. So if this is if broken links is something that you care about then having that, this is a new, basically the wrong column of notion you can establish back things and if you move stuff around, I think this was, this will be always correct, because the identified based on the IP of the document is structured within the note taking system.Yeah. Joshua says I like to avoid databases and just link pages with linking instead. Yeah. Which means he can move it without them breaking. So maybe just don't use linking or use backlinking. That seems to be the answer. Filters are really good for what it's worth Joseph. I don't actually recommend using notion is like a read later app. So I noticed that Joseph says that he has a reading list in notion. I actually use, you can use instead of paper you can use. So I have up next, this is what I have , I'll just add it to up next and then I'll read it on my iPad. But you can use Instapaper, you can use some sort of meet data. Okay. All right. Joshua has book notes. All right. All right. So Juliana hopefully that was good. I don't think it was like a perfect answer, but maybe notion wasn't really designed for that. Definitely try to make more robust things that won't break.Q&A: Automation with Zapier [00:22:34]All right. We'll take one more question. Thank you. Take one more question. Cameron has has an interesting one. What kind of workflow automations do you use with if this, then that Zapier? So this is about automations. Kevin says I created a zap so that every time I create a new notebook, it creates a new folder on Dropbox that you drive. That's pretty handy. That's more backup. Yanni says I use, I have TTT for Evernote Instapaper pocket highlight evernotes goes to Evernote.Yep. They are all going under inbox folder for me. Maria says Google calendar to notion database with Zapier. Wow. Okay. Why Google calendar like tweets the notion. Wow. Okay. This is really good. I think this Lightspeed's emotion thing. That's a good idea. Cause there's it's not intuitive to search your own. The tweets that you've liked before. So having the automation makes sense. The calendar one makes is unusual. SMART Goals [00:23:25]Alright, I probably missed some questions on the way. So I'm gonna leave those to the end, but I'm gonna go into some of the unique content that I think about we've covered some of these areas.I'm going to go into a little bit about some other thoughts that I've had personally, as part of this BSB journey. There's probably one other. Weakness, maybe at the power content that we talked about this week is that we talk a little bit about goals, but we didn't define goals, right?Like we talked about where is it in here? We said PA already, there's no G here. And jeez are very important for projects this and we didn't really talk that much about what a good goal is. So I think this framework, which I use, you can't go very far into, in productivity canon without coming across smart is a good idea for thinking about your goals.Does is it specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound? Timeline is obviously the deadline thing, but the other elements very helpful as well. I think the measurable ones. Yeah. A lot of goals are binary. So did you do it or not? So in that case, it's a very, it's very simple measurement. And I think the other one is attainable that people really should think about like is if the goal is too big, then it doesn't feel attainable. It's gotta be something that's within reach. So I think a lot of goal setting, a lot of smart goal setting is really just narrowing down the size of your ambitions. If you want to do something perfect, or if you want to do some huge, impressive thing you may not have built up the muscle to do that yet. You might need to break it down into something smaller and just make smaller goals along the way to that big goal. Okay. That was the first thing that I have planned.Denormalizing Notes [00:25:01]The second is for a little bit of the developers in the room, because I like these analogies. There's an idea of normalized schema versus de-normalized schema. Normalize is where you split everything into this most atomic categories where you can think things back and forth without knowing what, how are you going to need them ahead of time?Denormalize is where you put everything in a single object where you know, you're going to need it together. So the, my assertion is that projects are essentially de normalize and areas of resources or not. And so you want to break stuff down into the six areas, whereas projects you often are bringing together content from a few different areas of resources and synthesizing them in a special way.That's the idea about thinking about projects and I do encourage actually just copying and pasting. Like if you have, if you come across something useful, some piece of content, that's some thought that's really useful.You can just paste it in areas and paste it in projects. So I do like the idea that you don't follow this strict idea of like. One thing goes in one place. I do a lot of double pasting of stuff and that's just intentional denormalization and the way that I approach this is what I call MES on plots writing.Like you want to place everything that you're going to write about ahead of time in, in a place that you're going to use them. And this is independent of the areas of resources where you're collecting them. So that when it comes time to write, you're only right. So all this happens, asynchronously serendipitously as a pre-writing phase.And then when you're writing, you're just sitting down and focusing on converting all of this pre work into the final finished product. That's I think, a sustainable way to essentially reduce the amount of time that you spend researching and ideating and looking at the right references. Oh wait. Okay. I do have a, do you have a response there from Christopher Horn, another interesting feature to add to the ethnicity debate? Do you normalization? Yep. Okay. Yep. Great. So I'm going to drop a link to this doc for people who this is specifically for people who write a blog posts, as well as books, I'm going to show you a little bit about when I say I do this, I really take it to heart. This is the, this is how I wrote my book for my BSB sort of capsule last year. I planned out all the chapters that I was going to write originally, all of these things were white. And then I just slowly converted them into blue links, one by one, but each of these linked to the issue where I just slotted ahead of time.The ideas and the resources that I wanted to talk about. So that when I felt that I had, I was ready to compile all these things. I started from a good base of these are the points I wanted to touch on that I spent, three months thinking about and collecting.But everything was in its place. When I finally wrote the final chapter and this is me writing it. And that's something I encourage people especially people who are planning big books. If you're working on, for me, I was working at 40 chapters simultaneously to really think about just slotting everything in its place and having like a measle class attitude to writing.So obviously this works for a book, but you can also think about it as working for a blog where I'm working on simultaneously. 20 different vocals ideas and you should have some amount of idea of velocity where you're thinking of all of these things at the same time. So yeah. I encourage you to try to denormalize for action, at the end of the day, you want to try to produce output and then you're trying to normalize for resources.When it goes to resources, I'm just loving it. I've been here and you can do it twice. It's fine. There's no perfect system. If you figured out a way to automate it, Great for you. I haven't got there yet because I'm so pretty and so busy and focused on producing. Open Source Knowledge [00:28:27]So let's talk about source knowledge.So this is another developer analogy again if you're not familiar with open source knowledge, just think about. The old school, one encyclopedias versus Wikipedia and how Wikipedia completely destroyed encyclopedias because it was collaborative. The assertion here is that resources should be, open-sourced like everything else in para can be close, can be closed, can be private, but there's no reason why resources themselves should not be shared because as long as someone can benefit from it, then you essentially, when a friend while you're sleeping, if you just share it and if people can contribute and that's the open source nature of it then you really benefit because they help to correct you or they help to ask the question or they actually just give you extra things that you may not have known about.So I really liked that. I do have a talk on this copy open source knowledge doc. I really should have edit the link open source knowledge, right? I I'm just gonna give you the slides.That's my slides for open source knowledge. But yeah, I think when you combine para with learning in public, it becomes extremely powerful for building a brand as well as you are a network facing time.Brag Documents [00:29:28]Something that was briefly, very briefly mentioned in Tiago is lecture, which I think is super underrated, is this idea of a brag document. So let me see where he talks about it. So here doing during this is during one of the lectures that he had, and you can see, this is my own notes. I'm going through the course with you. During one of the lectures he had this idea that this comparison between projects was serious and you talk, and he talks about why you need to connect projects to goals. So there are three reasons why you need to collect the goals. You need to know the extent of the commitments need to connect current work to your long-term goals.But then the last part, you also need to know if you're making progress towards your goal. This is something which I think is understated in terms of para, which is at the end of your project, you should. Not just wipe it off, but actually stick it somewhere in a brag document, in a materialized view of the things that you've done this year.And so that you can actually review it because you're not going to, it's hard for you to remember them sometimes. And and especially at work, it's really helpful for a peer reviews and promotion packets and stuff like that. Even for the psychological pick me up, I think it's very helpful.And personally, in, when I work a stack is actually a stack is actually a really good channel like a prototype channel for bank documents. So it might have a sectional with only me in it. And I just post in that channel whenever I've finished something that I probably know, I want to review in my like three 60 feedback session, if you want to brag about yourself you need to be the best bragger of yourself because the one else is going to do that for you.Okay. Just Do It [00:30:57]Glen, I'm going to get to your question a little bit cause we have one more slide left and that is insert generic motivation. Just I think ship Ira Glass, the gap video is also pretty common. Like this idea that you need to just do it more, right? All this there's all this theory.There's all these Images and advice. You just need to do it more like this parable of the pottery class as well, because something that people say a lot and I've referred to it as well, as far as I can tell it never actually happened. So it's literally a parable or a fable. But anyway just do it right.And that's a recap of the kind of stuff that we covered in the extra content section of this talk. So I'm going to head over to questions and discussion. We have a few I did have someone raised their hands, so now's a good time to raise your hands for some chat.I'm going to answer things in reverse order so that I can keep on top of things. Q&A: How do you share in public? [00:31:45] Glenn G says. Could you show how you share your resources in public? Was it making your notion public and people can contribute to it? Or how does the contributing part work? Okay. So notion is not very conducive to public collaboration because I think it will be a mess if people can randomly rearrange stuff.But yeah, these are my notions and then I'll just share it in public. So you can, you're welcome to see my BWS bullshit. But for collaborative stuff, nothing's better for developers than get help. Right. So here is my launch cheat sheet. So when I launched my book I took my notes as a resource and I just posted it all up. And so you can see, I didn't have that many contributors, but the people who did actually volunteered information and for, and now whenever I need to launch my next thing, I have this resource available so that people can find it. So, Hey, I need to do it endorsements and testimonials.These are all the notes that I've taken for myself. And it's useful for other people, like so far. 500 people have started on GitHub. So probably more people have seen that. And it's also a nice way to promote my own book. So it's a very useful thing. I do this a lot. If you go to my GitHub profile, you see that the extent to which I have bought into this idea that you should open source your resources.So I have done a launch cheat sheet, a CLI cheat sheet podcasts. This, these are design resources. So here are my design resources. This is the biggest one. 5,000 people that start this. And it's just got things I use. So if you want to reference and typography I can pick my fonts in a way that has been pre-vetted by people I trust because I don't know anything about design, but I can, I can look like I know by stealing from other people I can steal code.So here's a fun loading strategy that some expert has approved. So I'm just going to steal that. It's essentially a swipe file and it's open source. So people contribute. So I had 32 contributors so far, and yeah, it's just a really great way to have your resources open. So the work you're doing anyway helps to benefit you professionally.I like it a lot. There's this concept that comes to mind call it the friend catcher, which isn't my idea, but I didn't, I do have the reigning Google search on it. Think. Yeah, I had number one to Google for that. So this idea that you should make friends online, what you seek by, by sharing these resources.So para are in Paris, extremely soul, super powerfully. We just keep it up and make it useful. Put a little bit of design on it. It's great. So highly recommend. Okay. Do you want to brag about myself too much? Peter braceQ&A: Atomicity/Denormalization [00:34:02]okay. Christopher Horn, let's go.Speaker1: [00:34:04] Okay, there we go. I'm sorry. Head down mute. My question is going back to that French term that I am not going to try to say that ends in the word place. I think. So we have two concepts that I, in my fevered brainer intention. One is the notion of normalization and de normalization. The other is that French term.And I guess what I struggle with and is if I am pursuing a philosophy of atomicity, which is to say that, where I fall on the normalization versus denormalization the reason that one of the reasons I'm doing it is because there are ideas or concepts in my second brain that are not going to feed just one project, but might feed many projects.And instead of pulling them all into one place and associating them with one activity, I might need to refer to them from two different directions at once. Does that make sense? swyx: [00:34:51] Okay. So what's the question. How do you reconcile that tension? So Speaker1: [00:34:55] it feels like what I understood you to say was you pull all the resources into one place and you dedicate it to one task.And I'm just trying to reconcile that with my notion that there might be multiple tasks that need or projects that need to draw from the same swyx: [00:35:08] artifacts, if you will. Yeah. So that's what I was saying. Like I do the lowest tech. Thing possible, which is I just, I double paste I'll, I'll copy it out into the other place, needs it. But if you are a little bit more sophisticated, you can use the linking, you can use the Rome style of the cake to irrigate. Are you familiar with those? I Speaker1: [00:35:30] am. Yeah. It's just a matter of, are you tolerating redundancy or are you just going to handle it by reference swyx: [00:35:36] only, right? Yeah. Yeah. So people are really like starts.I find them in practice, not that useful because they're just pretty. Anything that's great for ultimately I tell you what's the best thing to link to a public URL that you've blocked, right? Like last week, we talked about the three strikes rule.If you reference an idea for multiple times, don't keep it to yourself, just put it on your blog and then link to that. Fair enough. That's a good, I that's a good note. Yeah. And, just break down that idea that you're your, everything you blog has to be as like big thought leading piece or anything.It used to be a resource. Okay. We had some other questions. Julian had a really interesting one that I want to address. Would you recommend using GitHub for open source knowledge that is not coding related? So get helps really good because it has a really good collaboration model, but it might not be accessible for people who are not technical Google docs.So this guy frameworks, the 0.1. So they have that, oh my God, this guy does such a good job. I'm gonna read this to you because it's so true. I realized that the main reason I don't publish as much content online is that I prefer to Erie my thinking continuously making your part to publish something extraordinarily high we'll work around a shipping, an alpha version of a thought.And then blah, blah, blah. He published his work in progress, thoughts as a Google doc. And of course he never actually published the final document. Like that's how it's helped people are with their thinking. But a lot of discussion happens. There you go. Okay. Yeah. There's so much discussion here. When you can write your, you can write what you're thinking or researching and you let people comment and that's a really nice way to open-source it as well. Some collaborative thing like that, it can be useful to a lot of people. Cause this one went viral, look at them on a discussion it's still ongoing, and yeah, it's a really great tool and actually you should use this more.It's so simple. Everyone has access to Google docs. So there may be other tools, I think there are there like collaborative notepads that are out there that I've used no pads. I forget the name of them though. Deep note, no bureaucratic, no joy. There are a bunch of these that, that you could try using, but there's, they're just like startups, they're less reliable because they might go away some time. So, yeah, you don't have to use GitHub. Q&A: Why Notion? [00:37:33]Okay. We have a question from Probita. Hey. Speaker3: [00:37:35] Hi, John. Thanks. Fantastic succession. So, just a couple of quick questions, if you don't mind starting with a comment I think you do speak very well.You have clarity of thoughts and a it, it like the sort of the wisdom and the knowledge that you applied comes out very easily. So thank you for that. I think I I might've picked up that you took the course last year. Is that right? Yeah. Right. So were you already using notion at the time, or did you, were you in between a couple of programs and then you decided to work with swyx: [00:38:06] notion? I was even worse than that. I was using one note going in and then I switched halfway in the middle because I got frustrated with one notes and then I saw that most people using notion. So I jumped on a notion bandwagon. Speaker3: [00:38:17] Yeah, yeah. Right now I'm using Evernote, but I'm just wondering if, for folks who are more tech oriented or tech savvy, it's easier to establish themselves in notion, but that's something for me to just try that out and figure it out.Q&A: Book writing? [00:38:28]But a related question the book that you have published, which looks great. So I will check it out. Is that like the writing of it? Did you use notion for that? For most of swyx: [00:38:38] it. I used GitHub, like I just showed you, I showed you the process. I don't know if you were here for that. So this is for version two of that. I'm hoping to publish mix in July. But yeah, I use GitHub to draft. I had reviewers come in and these are my editors that came in and gave me comments. So this guy, I paid him to edit my work and he submitted and get up, Salesforce is great. It's a great experience. But like, drafting, I think you can pull in your ideas wherever I just happened to use GitHub. Like the tool doesn't matter to me, just so much as like the process. Right. I did use typable I forget the name of it. Basically. There's a better markdown drafts app. So the motion does export markdowns. And I do use markdown to publish, but it doesn't have I don't like the way it edit stuff. So I needed a simpler interface and Typora. That's the tools use pepper. This is a free open source tool. That just gives you marked down and is not as complex as notion. It only does marco. So no, no fancy blocks. When you slash it, doesn't try to search your whole database for you.It just doesn't work out and it presents it nicely. So that's a really good writing app. I think anything that distracts you from the act of writing can be a negative sometimes. So I used that poorer, if you want to try and check it out. Speaker3: [00:39:47] Yeah. Fantastic. Thank you. Yeah, it sounds like you're just All these tools that you apply them greatly, or you have applied them in the past and you just have a great wealth of information.So think thanks swyx: [00:39:57] for sharing. This is also by the way you can use GitHub projects for people with developers. Like this is literally my launch plan T 14 T minus 14, all the way to T minus one. He has, I hope ended up, whatever tool you can get pretty creative. And I find that my brain doesn't require one tool to rule them all.So I can segment by like, okay, I'm working on book, totally different set of tools than like regular knowledge ingestion and someone that works with me. If you're okay with that, okay. First Wrapup [00:40:23] Thanks, Maria. I want to acknowledge Maria for swinging by the mentor sessions here have always had like this. Do of support and I just want to acknowledge, thank you so much, Marina for swinging by to help out. Okay. All right. I think we're over time. So that's it, as far as the present, the pre-prepared questions have our concerns. You're welcome to email me@swyxandsix.io. That's my email if you're not comfortable asking questions here or you think of them later on. Email me here and I'll see you here again next week. And yeah, that's it next week is C O D distill. So we're going to go into distilling and I really like the progressive summarization idea, I don't necessarily do all the steps by I'm a fan. I'm a fan of Reviewing multiple times so that you really get to the gist of of a piece that you're writing about. I'll give you one example of that. So this is going to look super overwhelming to you. So please don't feel like you need to do this. I did have an example of people always think about this quality versus consistency. Trade-off of Hey, I want to produce, but do I produce on a regular schedule and trade-offs and quality, or do I infinite highest quality thing I can do and maybe not be so consistent with what I do. And so I've been, I actually collected three different podcasts clips from audio doll. My audio doll from Tim urban and then from James, Claire over here and I synthesize them into this blog post. And that actually did very well for me. I think the, the post that I had by the way, this is a really cool extension. If you work a lot with Twitter, I do use Twitter as my second Brain sometimes. I think this post did really well, just because of the number of people that picked it up independently. You're doing the work by summarizing and synthesizing and comparing, right? So, I was able to find someone who stood out for consistency and made that case.I was able to find someone that stood up for quality of me, that case. And then I just put together that debate and then offered some solutions to it by synthesizing different resources together. And distilling is a key part of that work. So that's what we're going to cover next week. Speaker3: [00:42:10] Okay. Thanks Shawn.Just if you don't mind, three quick questions sorry. I did miss your introductory session last week. So, Shawn Wang, of course, that makes sense doubly or rather why X, what does that stand for? swyx: [00:42:21] That's my English and Chinese initial sec. SW was English and NYX is Chinese. And I don't bother to tell people what the wax is because they're not going to remember.Yeah. Q&A: Twitter Links Extension [00:42:30]Speaker3: [00:42:30] Okay. And then this Twitter extension that you just mentioned with the design, swyx: [00:42:34] So this is a unpublished Chrome extension, just from a friend who wrote this, essentially, whenever you go to some somebody's site, if you want to see the metal layer discussion around this, here's the blog post that I wrote about that. Let's say that's what you want to find the power of blog posts whenever you're like, okay, I read this, I want to discuss it with people.Who've also read the thing what do you do? Right. You drop it in a Slack, you drop in a discord or something. And then people who have also read it. But what's better is you can actually just say like, okay, I'm going to click this Twitter links thing and just plug into the stream of people who talk about this stuff.So Joel talked about it. So Shawn talks about it and then you can respond directly to them. But you can see like the disagreements or you can post about it. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's, it's very useful for, and this is me talking about it. Yeah. I think it's helpful. You can also do this on hacker news. I just like plugging into the commentary layer because it opens your mind as to if people strongly disagree, if people like, have extra points that they want to make.I think Twitter is a meta commentary. Raider is a very interesting idea. Q&A: Chrome Extensions [00:43:33] Speaker3: [00:43:33] okay. So because the topic of extension has come up and I've been meaning to find the right opportunity to ask this to someone A lot of people use the Evernote clipper and similar extensions. And when you try install them, be it on Firefox or Chrome, it does ask for permission. And part of the permission is that it, it can have access to all your websites and whatnot.And I'm not necessarily big on confidentiality or whatever security, but at the same time it does yeah. For data for all websites. So is that something that that's just standard or like, do you have any thoughts on that as a tech person? swyx: [00:44:15] Yeah. Unfortunately it's pretty standard people and, and this may be a slightly alarmist, but at the end of the day, you just do have to trust them. The trust model for Chrome extensions is just that broken. You just have to trust the publisher. If you don't trust them, then don't install it because they can for example, you can look safe at a time of publishing and then you install it and then they can secretly update it.And they might get you that way. So you just have to trust that the, they won't ever abuse that. Q&A: How do you balance research and writing? [00:44:39]Speaker2: [00:44:39] Awesome. So just question around, I really do appreciate the idea of set your focus, your focus on creation. I think that's what the whole point of the second brain. Now the question comes down is how do you eat? I just curious about your personal experience, last preference.How do you balance research and value creation in terms of time and energy perspective? So I do, for instance, when you were making a blog paused. Yes. There's a creation for sure, but definitely there's some, a lot of research going on. It can be the pre-writing work. I wondering how you balance that activities.swyx: [00:45:15] Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah, of course. The research is just always ongoing in the back of my head which is why I have this idea of pre-writing right. This is passive. This is just a background process. It's always happening. And whenever it's something relevant comes up to a top favorite problem or a project that I'm working on, then I'll just slide it right into there.I'll find I'll pause what I'm doing and just go add that piece of information. So research the passive for me. And then when I make time to write, which is often like, probably a Saturday when it, like I have like three, four hours open. I think I'm trying to move to one hour a day before work.I think that'd be a really good model for me, but just quite honestly, I don't do that right now. But you should have everything in place. So David Perellcalls this start from abundance or write from abundance. I don't really like the way you phrase this. Okay. Yeah. Start with abundance. There we go. How to cure it, write it, write this book. There we go. All right. So , you can take his word for it, but essentially you just have the research as a background process. And then when you write, just write you can of course, improvise and research here.But if you do too much of that, then you will not ended up publishing, so I totally get it. Yeah. I do have the same process by the way. When you publish, because it's a digital document digital garden terms of service. So I have this idea of a digital gardens. So it's like when you publish you, can you have the right to be, to update it as you go along.Right? So as long as you as a contract, if you're with your with your readers is very clear, then people won't expect you to be complete and you're not promising to be complete. You can even insert disclaimers. So I've been starting to insert disclaimers as well. So for example, stuff like here, I think I have the disclaimer here.So you can have like this where you can say like, blah, blah, blah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back from it. It's not fully formed yet. Devon Zuegel has this idea of epistemic origin. So she'll tell you a friend, the kind of work that she put into the post, is it high? Is it high confidence?Is this a high confidence post or is it just the theory? This episode, you guys, and then the amount of effort that was put into it, is this just a random thought or is this like the result with three years of research? And that sets the tone for people. So they don't get upset, especially if you have a lot of readers, they're like fuck you.Like you're an expert. And you didn't consider all these concepts and you should be open about that. I just, I don't like the word epistemic, cause it sounds very pretentious. So I just simplified it disclosure. When I tried to make that a thing.Yeah. Q&A: Converting Resources to Projects [00:47:37]Speaker2: [00:47:37] Thank you. Just one last follow up question. So I'm trying to map that blogging whole process to the para modal. So for instance, that the older passive activity going over research, I can see based on my knowledge, you go, we'll go to the resources. But when that let's say that content for specific blog pause is filled like ready for 80% that I think I can, I can see that I can convert that blog post for that particular topic to a project.Is it how you also organize it? I see. Okay. Sounds good. Speaker3: [00:48:06] Thank you very much.swyx: [00:48:07] Yeah, no worries. I have another thing which I, after you publish this, a really interesting conversation you can have with your readers is you should not think about it as like a one to many thing. It should be like a back and forth.So I call this annealing — I almost included this in my slides, but I didn't. But essentially like when you image three, go. Okay. So when you have the idea for posts, right? You're like researching, researching, researching, like accumulating knowledge stuff like that. And then towards the end, when you're ready to write, you'd just do the sprint of writing.And then you have this draft. Maybe you have a group of friends that are peer reviewing. So you're workshopping this idea and I have a separate post on that. And then you publish, but right after you publish, you have a bunch of public feedback and you can actually have a conversation with them. And your posts continues to have increasing quality because you have a conversation with readers, gives people an incentive to respond to you quickly because there'll be shot at there'll be mentioned.This one, I didn't have it, but people mentioned, I, I shut people out one day when to respond. Yeah, it's just a really good model of of don't think about it as a single game. There's multiple stages that it's okay.All right. Thanks, Danny. Yeah. I'll take one more question.Q&A: Video/Audio Capture [00:49:11]Sam Wong question for Sam Wong. I do a lot of YouTube on iPad and have taken screen capture.Is there a method to sort them into different projects in areas? Every ? I have no idea. YouTube and iPad and screen captures. Who does, if it is video, any ones? I don't really, I take, I think a timestamp. So yeah. Does anyone have thoughts on YouTube or iPad screen captures like part of the I'm sure. Toolkit. Yeah. Part of the capture toolkit, one of the six is audio and video transcription. I just haven't had, I haven't cracked it. Yeah. So part of your toolkit is audio video transcription. And I only do audio I don't do video, so yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what this tools are, but you can check out the tools that people are using here.Sonic study, I guess. I don't know. I haven't tried. I haven't tried these notion YouTube. Yeah. I do a lot of timestamps, so these are my podcast notes, I'll do here's the, what I want to feature. And the it's 36 minutes in that's essentially the extent of work that I do.Probably no thinking it's really crappy, but at the same time, I'm going to minimalist in the way that I do this stuff. Yeah, right. Thanks that. Okay. Well, I think that's it. I don't see any other hands up and we've gone over time, so you're welcome to ask me questions through email again, if I can find it a success six, that IO and if not, we'll meet again next week and talk about distilling. So thanks.Thank you. hang around say hi to people. We'll say, bye. Thanks Dennis. Thanks for all the questions, everyone. It really helps to make this not a monologue. Q&A: Speaking [00:50:39] Speaker3: [00:50:39] I'll just say all those speaking gigs that you do, it definitely shows in your presentation.So you do quite well swyx: [00:50:47] trying to do more. Yeah, this is so for those who are speakers, this is what happens when you have this extra speaking schedule and no time to update them. So these are, you said the talks that I do.So these are all my talks, but I haven't updated them since december. And these are all the talks I haven't added yet. God. Yeah, I need to, I need to go make myself, I don't, I know I didn't, I need to update my own documentation, but yeah, if you want to do something well, do it a lot and I don't think I do it very well. I have a little bit I speak at it roughly about 10 times. A minute and that's not very good. I think so. Speaker3: [00:51:28] Yeah. No, I think your sort of weapon is what'd you swyx: [00:51:32] mean collegequantity? Yes, exactly. Speaker3: [00:51:38] I was just going to say while the EMEA, so I think you be at writing or be at speaking. I, I feel like that's how you're going about things and the more you do it, the better you get just your, your you're finding the time to do everything, or that's just the discipline that you've developed over the years, but it's, swyx: [00:51:54] it's pretty good.Cool. It's funny. Cause you can think about it as discipline, but you can also think about it as just. Being less perfectionist, right? Like I'm just lowering the bar on what I do in order to do more of it. And I think he also noticed when you have speakers where you didn't think about speakers well there two things.So one is when you think about the greatest features in the world, the Steve jobs and they have very pre prepared speeches, but then when they speak off the cuff, they have all the ums and AHS, they have the false starts and rambling around random rambles. So you don't have to be the best speaker in the world, but you can, you just have to be functional.You can get a message across, you can think while you talk. So you can plan ahead what you're about to say. And the other point I was going to make is that writing helps you speak better because it helps you rehearse things and be heard as the freezing and think of what structure. I have this quote in my writing chapter about, again, I'm not going to look it up right now, but when you write, when you have written down something and then you speak about the leader, whether it's a conference talk or workshop, or like a podcast, or just a regular one-on-one chat you sound smarter because you've written about it.So you should write more and you will magically become a better speaker. That makes Q&A: Writing My Book [00:52:58]Speaker3: [00:52:58] sense. What when did you have the thought of writing a book on the specific topic that you have written on the coding manual or whatever manual it is like, when did that sort of come swyx: [00:53:08] up? I have an exact date sorry. So you can see how often I use Twitter as my second break. So, Daniel was a friend now tweeted this if you're tempted by this. So, so Nevada tweeted this, I, there's never been a better time to launch a digital product. This is April last year, which is like the depth of the recession.Right. And then you were like, and this guy, this advice was like create a small product, something you can finish in two weeks and charge $10 for it. So I decided that I was going to do that. I think I did it here. Hmm. I don't know. I don't know where I actually quoted it, but essentially I have, that's the exact date that I started April 10th, 20, 20, 20. I decided that I was going to launch this, this book and then it just carried on from there. And originally was going to, it was going to try to finish it in two weeks, like you said.And it blossom into two months because I found that I had so much content to share. So, books, I hear that it tends to happen to books because people, especially when they're first time authors want to squeeze everything in. I think for, for second and third books, you tend to try to foc

When you sit down to write a blog post is that a comfortable creative activity? Are there times when it feels like the words are stuck or just not sure how to say what you’re really trying to say? Recently Rob finished a 100 days in a row blogging challenge. That project and other writing he's done in recent years for team collaboration, manifestos, pitches for funding, he's noticed a few things he's been practicing that are helpful he'd like to share. Here in this mini-workshop, we'll share some of these practices to write quickly with constraints, prompts, and instinct.

Se volete supportare il podcast vi chiediamo con il cuore di fare una recensione su Apple Podcast. In questo fase iniziale tante recensioni ci permetteranno di essere visti da più persone possibili. Se volete sapere come fare una recensione trovate il link nelle note dell'episodio (https://www.avvocati-e-mac.it/podcast/itunes). Potete anche scriverci a scrivi.a@a2podcast.it 1. Un po' di storia Il markdown (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) nasce da un'idea di John Gruber di DaringFireball (https://daringfireball.net) e con li cotributo di Aaron Swartz (morto suicida). Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown è uno strumento di conversione da testo a HTML per gli scrittori del web. John Gruber introduzione al markdown (link (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)) Gruber all'epoco aveva iniziato a scrivere il proprio blog e non c'aveva voglia di scrivere tutto in HTML (altro linguagigo di markup alla base del web). Così pensò di implementare (aiutato poi da Swartz che dei due è il vero programmatore) un interprete Perl per scrivere in modo semplice e solamente testuale i suoi post del blog che poi, grazie allo script Perl, venivano convertiti in formato HTML e pubblicabile poi sul web. La caratteristica peculiare del markdown è che il testo scritto in questo formato è facilmente leggibile da qualsiasi persona che non lo conosca. I file .MD sono dei semplici file TXT ovvero di testo semplice che sono alla base di qualsisasi sistema informatico. Gruber ha posto le base agli elementi di base (vedremo dopo quali sono) poi ha reso il markdown open e gratuito. Nel tempo, soprattutto nel mondo Apple di cui Gruber è una voce e commentatore importante, l'utilizzo di questo formato si è ampliato a dismisura. In particolare con l'avvento degli iPhone questo tipo di formato e le applicazioni che lo rendevano più semplice hanno resto la scrittura sugli smartphone prima ed i tablet di Apple molto più semplice. Wikipedia italiana (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) Nel tempo, tuttavia la “semplicità” del markdown ha dato poi il là ad altri formati tra cui degni di nota: Multi-markdown (https://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/) di Flatcher Penney Markdown di GitHub Pandoc (che usa Filippo quotidianamente per lavoro … ma questo meriterebbe una puntata a parte …) Ora non è solo possibile creare con il markdown della pagine web ma, praticamente, qualsiasi cosa da PDF, si usa anche in Todoist e molte altre applicazioni Obsidian. 2. Le caratteristiche Perché il markdown è qualcosa che, se non lo conoscete, dovreste conoscerlo? Semplice: imparare a scrivere in markdown richiede pochi minuti (per le regole di base) Altamente portatile (multipiattaforma) Sincronizzazione in un lampo (file di testo di pochi kb) Universale (possibile convertire facilmente da e per markdown) 3. Le regole di base Fare riferimento per la spiegazione Pagina di Daringfireball sulla sintassi del markdown (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) (in inglese) Markdown: Guida Completa 2019 (https://informaticabrutta.it/markdown-guida/) di Informatica brutta (in italiano) Markdown: guida al linguaggio di mark up (https://www.html.it/articoli/markdown-guida-al-linguaggio/): di HTML.it infarcita di pubblicità e tracciamenti … ma ben fatta. Markdown: guida al semplice linguaggio di markup (https://www.ionos.it/digitalguide/siti-web/programmazione-del-sito-web/markdown/) Elementi principale del markdown: Intestazioni (i titoli di ) grassetto e corsivo (c.d. enfasi) link immagini Paragrafi Elenchi: puntati e numerati Citazioni Codice Se volete provare markdown editor (https://markdown-editor.github.io), applicazione web. 4.

Jorge: Well, I'm so glad that you are able to join us. For folks who might not know you, can you please tell us about yourself? About Kourosh Kourosh: Sure. Most of my work is I'm a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. And I work with clients, I see patients and do some medication, but also do a lot of talk therapy type work. I've also developed into a writer: I write about task management, I write about taking notes — basically things that involve trying to do things that feel meaningful, trying to do good work. And, throughout my life I've also been a piano player, musician; I like to tinker around with sounds. It's a lot of fun and I've yet to stop. And I can add one more: I enjoy video games. So all of that together is whatever I am. I guess that's how I introduce myself. Jorge: Well, that's great. I reached out to you because of the productivity side of that formula. I have been using a tool called DEVONthink for a couple of years. And it wasn't until I read one of your books called Taking Smart Notes with DEVONthink, that the tool really clicked for me. And I'm hoping that we will get into productivity and more particularly note-taking. The book, like I said, it's called Taking Smart Notes with DEVONthink. What are "smart notes"? Note-taking systems Kourosh: What are smart notes? You know, I take the title from, Sonke Ahrens's book, which was How to Take Smart Notes. And he had based it on the Zettelkasten approach; this idea of having individual notes that really captured a single idea that would then link to other notes. Which in turn would link back and based on this approach that the sociologist — Luhmann was it? — that put together this analog system of note cards. And then Sonke Ahrens had translated that into these digital versions. So, smart notes, I think encapsulates a lot of different ideas that come from that very simple process. Again, the simple process is: You have a single note that has maybe a single idea to it, and then you connect that to other notes. And what makes it smart, I think, is where you start to reflect on those notes. How you start to develop them over time, how they start to argue with each other in time, because what you've written now is different than what you've written in the past, and you start discovering things. It's not so much the notes themselves, so much as the effect they have on you, I suppose. Jorge: I remember when I was in school, I would take copious notes of what the teacher was saying. And I would try to transcribe things verbatim, you know, and I would always be behind the words that were coming out of the teacher's mouth. And later on, when I was in professional context — in meetings — I would also try to take notes of what was being said in a meeting, right? And I was not trying to be verbatim at that point but trying to summarize on the fly. And I'm saying that because I think that for many people, the idea of notes evokes this notion of just writing down the things that you're hearing or seeing in the environment. But what I'm hearing from you in this concept of smart notes is slightly different, no? Kourosh: Absolutely. I mean, I came from the same sort of process of taking notes that, maybe I wouldn't write it down verbatim, but I would just try to write down whatever I could when I was in class, similar to what you're describing. But then the issue is that — at least when I was doing it — I wouldn't have a destination for it beyond maybe an exam or the thing that I was assigned to. Maybe do homework with or something like that. Because it wasn't embedded in the system that I was developing for myself — just this idea of having my own thoughts and connecting them — it didn't really prompt me to clarify my thoughts and so in that sense, the relationship that one has with their writing, or the relationship I had with my writing, changed significantly once I started to develop a system that was my own. Jorge: When you say 'system,' I'm thinking it's not just a repository of things. It's also composed of processes and ways of making the ideas actionable somehow. Kourosh: Absolutely. You want the ideas to be able to come to you when and where they are useful to you and you want them to stay out of the way otherwise. And to do that isn't that hard from using a system where you just... you link to things that are meaningful and to any particular note. But then as you develop that, the hard part is where you start looking at what these notes are saying and how they might be different. The perspectives that these notes have on the same object, whatever it is you're exploring, you might start thinking, "one of these has got to be wrong." Or "maybe these are both pointing at the same thing and there are different ways of looking at it, and how do I reconcile that?" Whether it's my own thoughts from the past or some other authors ideas. So, when you try to achieve the sort of coherency between your ideas, that's I think what I'm referring to when I say 'system' — that when you do that, you're trying to achieve a coherency of meaningful ideas within yourself because you're trying to understand it and build on it at the same time. Jorge: And this coherency is something that before using tools like DEVONthink I would do inside of my head, right? Again, by writing on a sketchbook, but I was limited to what was on my mind. And the system that you're describing, at least as I've built my own, based on the things that I read in your book, is a system that augments my mind in that it takes these ideas out of my head, puts them in what is really a database, ultimately, that allows me to easily find relationships, that would not be as discoverable otherwise. Is that a fair description of it? Kourosh: Absolutely. Yeah. Once you put it down — once you've written it in a way that's easily accessible — then the work of having to hold it in your head is relieved. So, you can actually do the other work of thinking on top of that. You can build on top of those ideas much more easily. Why DEVONthink? Jorge: So there are several systems... several tools let's say so that we don't confuse folks by over using the word 'system.' There are several tools that can be used to implement such a thing. I was in a discussion a couple of weeks ago with friends who were talking about migrating from Evernote and they were considering Notion. Or another one that we hear about a lot these days is Roam Research. And I'm wondering, why DEVONthink? Kourosh: You're right. There are quite a number of note-taking apps and new ones coming up all the time. DEVONthink... so I've been using it for several years already. Now it's been probably at least a decade that I've been using it. When I first approached it, I was kind of using it as a Finder equivalent, just throwing things in there. And there were little bits that had some benefits to it. Like, I could link to anything in it and-it was a strong, good, robust link. It wouldn't break down like some of the Finder ones and the alias function, which in DEVONthink is called 'replicant' also was more reliable. It was good. But I didn't use it too much beyond that. And then once I started to do notes, certain functions in DEVONthink became much more apparent and powerful. So probably the biggest example is the AI. One of the things that distinguished DEVONthink I think head and shoulders above just about any other a note-taking app is this AI. And at first, I thought of it more as a gimmick. I didn't think of it as very useful. You know, you throw a bunch of PDFs in there and maybe one of them it would say, "Hey, what about these other PDFs? Are they useful to you?" And, I said, "Okay, yeah, that's nice." But when I started to take these notes, and when I started to organize it myself, that's where the AI started to, I guess, rest on my own organizing process. So, now when I write something down, let's say in some particular niche of psychoanalytic thought, or maybe I'm writing about, you know, I've been interested in; structure of stories, I write some small nuance of that. Suddenly in the sidebar it shows me a handful of ideas that I've already written that could be related. And it's not that it's just taking the same words or something. It's not just saying, "Oh, I've mentioned the title of this somewhere else." It seems to go through this process of thinking about the relationships of the words together in such a way that it feels meaningful. It feels like... like if I start writing about character, then I discover ideas from stories and how characters are built on story, but I can also have it present things about defense mechanisms that might be more relevant than psychoanalysis. And suddenly I can think about these two very different approaches to the idea of character and see where they overlap, how they go together. And, you know, oftentimes I might think of these sorts of associations myself, but it's very nice to have the system say, "Hey, these are other things you've written that may not seem directly relevant — you may not think of them immediately — but hey, you might think that they're relevant." And very often they are. And it's just so lovely to have that. So, that's one — I'd say impressive to me — reason to stick with it, but there's others. I mean, I can throw any file in there. I can have audio files. I can have image files. And there are tools that work with these within DEVONthink, as well as the files are directly accessible by anything else. It's not just, I can export them. You know, I can do that. But I can also open a particular file at any point with any app that would work with it. So, a text file... I have half a dozen note editors that whichever one I feel like working with because one's better than the other at something... I can do that. Save it and jump to another one very quickly. And they're all sitting happily in DEVONthink where I may have tagged it, I may have linked it to who knows what else as well as multiple databases. So, anyway, I can talk about that too. Point is, there's a good number of reasons why, to me it just reigns supreme in terms of these note-taking apps. I will say that there are some of these other apps do things that DEVONthink doesn't. Such as, you mentioned, Roam. Another one that's come out recently is Craft, where you have these, blocks, these block references. And DEVONthink does not do that. I've tried them out, and I continually stumble on myself, trying to make them work. So maybe that's part of my issue. But in the end, I've found that I very much value a simple text file. There's something about it that feels more paper-like, that feels more direct. And I don't mind rewriting if I need to, though I don't actually find myself doing that very often. So, in the end, DEVONthink really is the powerful tool for me. Jorge: I haven't played with Craft, but I did play a bit around with Roam. And when I hear you talk about blocks, I think that what you're referring to — and I just want to be clear on it for myself — is the ability to treat elements of a note or a document that are more granular than the note or the document itself... treat them as individual entities that you can point to and manipulate somehow, right? Kourosh: Exactly. Yeah. That each line can be changed, adjusted, can be referred to — some of them in quite powerful ways. And you can have combines and you can have images placed there and you can drag and drop them around. And yes, refer to one particular line in a particular note, from any other note. Jorge: And the trade-off there to your point when you're talking about the paper-like experience and also DEVONthink's ability to host files that are openable in other applications. I think that one of the trade-offs there is portability, right? In that if you have a system that lets you deal with elements more granular than the document, all of a sudden you develop a dependency on that system. Kourosh: Absolutely. Yeah, no, once you do that, you're somewhat fenced in. Even if you can export it. Even just psychologically, you get connected to that system. I would rather have a tool that lets me manage the things I work on external to that tool. You know, if I have a bunch of nails, I don't want to have a certain brand of hammer that only works with those nails. Jorge: Right. And to illustrate for folks listening in one of the things that I learned from reading your book, was how to deal with the notes that I'm taking in DEVONthink as markdown files, right? Markdown being this markup language that works on plain text files. And I can use BBEdit, which is my text editor of choice, when working with DEVONthink think files and there's this portability that happens not just... not just portability of the entire set of notes, but even when working day to day with the thing. It encourages you to somehow use other elements that you're more comfortable with, or that may do a better job than DEVONthink itself for whatever task you're trying to do, right? Kourosh: Yeah, absolutely. I think that's exactly it. Like if you like BBEdit, it's fantastic. You know, I like iA Writer, is one. I like type Typora is another. I can jump between a number of them and just, they all work. Kourosh's workflow Jorge: I'm wondering about your workflow when taking notes. When you were describing it, you were talking about discovering DEVONthink's AI, surfacing links to notes that you had taken previously. You also talked about PDFs. Are those PDFs of things that you yourself have written or PDFs from third parties, journals, stuff like that? Kourosh: Both. Whenever I find a journal article, for example, that I want to add to the system, I'll add it to a folder titled 'Reference.' And I might even put that into sub folders that it relates to. Or anytime I complete some major project that I'm writing, even if it's based on stuff that I've done within DEVONthink — the notes that I've written there — then that complete article that I've written is now a reference that I can use. And I'll add that to DEVONthink. I think actually now that you mention it, I think that's the other part of DEVONthink that I didn't mention that I really liked a lot is moving from notes to completion, to a complete something. I know it's a little tangential to what you just asked, but I was able to take, you know, about 30,000 words of notes — over 300 notes — about... you know, as I was writing about, ADHD and the psychodynamics of it. And I read a bunch of papers. I imported them, about six papers to start. Followed their references, went to about a dozen, had maybe 20-30 sitting there that maybe I didn't read deeply, but at least a dozen that I did. And I was able to take those 30,000 words, 300 notes, drag them into Scrivener. In Scrivener I could, play with the corkboard there and arrange them nicely, you know, in the sort of bottom-up organization, where I discover, "Oh, this kind of goes here, this kind of goes there," and, figure out a good flow of where the words would go. And how I could... how can I lead the audience? And, in the end, I edited it down to about 18,000 words, which turned into a four-session lecture. And it wasn't hard. It was enjoyable to go through that process. You know, to discover along the way as I created this final piece. Which then I took as a PDF, and actually as a Scrivener document, and put it into my references so I could connect to it and link to it again, further, in DEVONthink. Jorge: The way that I'm hearing that workflow works is that DEVONthink is the system where the knowledge is stored in a way that allows you to easily surface connections with other pieces of knowledge that might have fallen off the table or been something that you collected a while back. But then the actual process of creating a new work based on those connections happens in another tool. Is that right? Kourosh: If I'm creating like a final piece of something? Yes. Like if I'm aiming for whatever the medium is, it's going to be outside of DEVONthink. So, if I'm thinking of a Keynote presentation, I'll use that. If I'm thinking of a long form text, probably I'll be using Scrivener, but absolutely the consumption, digestion, working-through of knowledge and the accessibility of my ideas, all happen in DEVONthink. Jorge: Yeah, I'm asking because that's something that I'm struggling with myself. I'm always facing the question, should I keep writing this note in DEVONthink or do I need to move it to Ulysses? Which is the... it's what I use instead of Scrivener, it's the more, kind of long form thing. Or should I do this one in BBEdit? And it, it feels like part of the deal that comes with a powerful complex tool like DEVONthink is that by opening up so much choice, it does become a little complex in that you have to make choices about what you're going to do and where. Kourosh: I would divide it as... like, I have a sense or a feeling of what I want my DEVONthink database then notes to do... like it's a search of knowledge. It's a development of knowledge. It's a growth. And, if I feel like the words have a destination, let's say a post or something like that, I might... I like the idea of a singular idea as being a note, you know? Trying to get each note to have a single idea. And as long as I have the single ideas represented in my database, DEVONthink, then I can take any of them and weave them together into something longer form elsewhere. So, if I start writing something and I'm wondering, "should I start writing this elsewhere?" The only thing I have in mind is, "well, are the ideas represented in my database?" And if they are already well then, that's great, then I don't need to edit for some flow between the ideas necessarily, that might be more aligned with whatever its destination is. And that's when I might take it out. And if I discover new things as I write that, then, you know, I'll throw them into the inbox and DEVONthink can work on them later. Tagging Jorge: One issue that I wanted to discuss with you, and it's just because it's something that I'm using right now, an aspect of DEVONthink that I'm using right now, and I wanted to touch on it because I'm finding it incredibly powerful and feel like it's something that folks would appreciate hearing about. Like you're saying, I'm working on something right now where I have a final destination in mind, in this case, it's a set of Keynote presentations. And what I'm using DEVONthink for is making these connections between ideas and discovering connections that I might not have been aware of before. And I, like you were describing, I've collected a lot of my own notes, a lot of PDFs, bookmarks to websites and I've been tagging those things as I import them or create them in DEVONthink. And then I have set up smart... I don't remember the right terminology, but it's like the equivalent of 'smart agents' in DEVONthink that surface the items in the database that have that particular tag. And what that's allowed me to do is to very quickly discover these relationships that I have been slowly accumulating over time and — there's a question here, I promise! — The question here has to do with tagging as an activity that you do at the moment of capture versus tagging as something that you do at the moment of reflection. Because my ability to surface those items is going to be dependent or greatly improved by having good tags. But sometimes when I'm in a hurry, in the moment, I might tag something with one or two tags, but that might not be rich enough to describe the full utility of this idea, right? And I'm wondering if you have suggestions or thoughts about this relationship between bottom-up tagging in the moment versus the more reflective structure that happens when you circle back to add meaning to things. Kourosh: Yeah. So, most of the way you described it, I think it's similar to way I might do it, which was: If I have a particular project or something that I'm working on, and there are notes, ideas, that are related to it, I might give it that particular tag. The second way you described it is I might tag something with multiple tags and those multiple tags may not fully describe everything about it. That second way I avoid. Any tag that I have, I've made it a principle for myself to have a very clear purpose. I think it's often approached... and I don't know if I'm misinterpreting, please let me know. But I think it's often that tags can be approached as like, "Well, I'm going to add everything that comes to mind about it." Like, it's used associationally, and then hopefully you'll be able to discover that later on in some association with whatever. But I've very rarely found that to be helpful to me. So, instead — and that's maybe partially because I've come to rely on the AI in DEVONthink — that I would much rather just have... Let's say I'm working on the ADHD idea. I have a tag just for that — in the psychodynamics of ADHD, that was one tag. And everything that related to it, got that tag. And then later on, I realized there were certain ones that I thought would be important to have and I'd forgotten to tag them. So, I created a smart rule that said, "search for everything that has the phrase either 'ADHD' or maybe the phrase 'concentration', or whatever it was, and also does not have that tag." And I was able to search through and then, "Okay, these are the ones that need to be tagged." Okay. So, then I go ahead and tag them. And then once I have them all tagged, now I have all those notes. And that's where I can grab them all, drag them into Scrivener and do whatever I want with them. Anyway, the one question you'd said was, "Do I tag it before or after, as it enters, or later on?" I'm not sure it matters. I think, whatever... when you realize that it's a part of your project, that's a good time. You know, I work to have it so that everything's within the notes and not in, PDFs or scraps or webpages. Once I've fleshed out all my thoughts and now, they're all notes that are interlinked, that's a great time to move it on. But yeah, I would avoid the kind of associational tagging. At least that's the way I've done it. Being deliberate Jorge: If I might reflect that back to you, and just as a way of starting to wind down the conversation, it feels to me just from hearing you describe it, and from my own experience, that systems like DEVONthink are most useful when they're used purposefully, where it's not like an arbitrary dump. We used to have this term: a junk drawer app, right? Like, where you just dump stuff. And it doesn't feel like that's what this is. This is really a purposeful thinking tool. And if you bring purpose to it, you're going to get a lot out of it. Kourosh: Absolutely. I will embarrassingly say, though, I do have a database in DEVONthink that functions as a junk drawer. So, I'm not immune to it. But the database of my notes? That is very deliberate. There's another database, which is a bunch of websites of "I found something funny," or "there was a nice joke," or "there's some social-something happening." And that just... I have an organization in there, but I have yet to figure out what I'll do with that organization. So, it's a junk drawer. But I don't get much out of it unless I'm doing it like I do my notes. The notes? That's where it becomes powerful. Jorge: My dream is for the junk drawer aspect of this system to serve up serendipity somehow. Kourosh: Sure! You could make that happen, now that I think of it. What you could do is you can have your notes database open, and then you have also the junk drawer database open, and then as you're working, consider also — see also — all that... brings anything to mind from in DEVONthink. It'd be an interesting experiment. Jorge: Well, I'm going to try that out. I frankly didn't even know that that was a thing. I thought that databases were separate. Kourosh: Yeah, you can do it. I'm pretty sure you can. Now that your question and I'm like now 95% instead of a hundred percent certain! I have to go double-check now. But I'm pretty sure you can do that. Closing Jorge: Well, fantastic. This has been such a pleasure talking with you about this, and I feel like we could keep geeking out on this. Where can folks follow up with you? Kourosh: Sure. I have a couple of sites. One is beingproductive.org and that's where you'd find the things that I write about in terms of productivity, in terms of note-taking. I write about the use of the task manager OmniFocus and I also write about just being productive in general, without any tools. What does that mean? And then if you're interested in more of my you know, other interests like music and games and psychiatric type things, that's at my... just my name, which is: kouroshdini.com. Which is a kouroshdini.com. And that links to basically everything that I do. Jorge: Well, great. I'm going to include links to all of those in the show notes. Thank you so much for being with us today. Kourosh: Thanks so much for having me. I really enjoyed our talk here.

APF [Andreas, Patrick, Sven] sprechen ins Mikrofon und die Worte beinhalten ihre Empfehlungen an digitalen und analogen Schreibutensilien. Garniert wird das ganze mit jeder Menge frischer Samples. Die Frage welche alle Festlandbewohner so bewegt scheint 2014 zu sein, wie notiert man als Pilot eigentlich so. Ein Glück sind noch genügend Sitzplätze in der 60er Jahre Flugmaschine frei, um beim Erkundungsflug teilzunehmen. Setzen, Zigaretten raus und zuhören wie man so auf 8.000 Höhenmeter Notizen macht. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Überbleibsel Aller Anfang ist schwer. Auch wenn erst keiner so recht was sagen will, irgendwann gibt Patrick dann doch zu, dass er den ersten Punkt auf die Tagesordnung gesetzt hat und äußerst sich leicht befangen dazu. Mute Switch Mini Rant Patrick stört(e) der Mute-Switch bei Apple. Mittlerweile hat er sich dran gewöhnt, dass dieser bei Third-Party Apps nicht ignoriert werden darf… eine Sache die durchaus nützlich wäre bei der ein oder anderen Alarm Anwendung (z.B. Due als kompletter Ersatz für die vorinstallierte Uhr). Fakt ist: Einzig die Clock.app von Apple darf sich über den Stummschalter erheben und den schlauen Handapparat mit dem Leuchtedisplay lauthals zum tönen bringen. Nun, in dieser Rant wundert sich Pilot P., warum zum Beispiel die Erinnerungen App nicht auch dieses Feature mitbringt. Die Antwort folgt auf dem Fuße von seinen zwei Co-Piloten. Es handele sich nicht um einen Fail, sondern ist sowas von durchdacht, denn wer will schon im Meeting mit Deutschlands nächsten Börsenhai von einem Reminders Alarm daran erinnert werden, den gelben Sack vor die Tür zu tragen. Okay, Patrick sieht ein, dass es nicht cool wäre in Mitten einer Besprechung aufspringen, den Konferenzraum zu verlassen und hastig zu nuscheln “Entschuldigung, … muss nun das Unkraut im Vorgarten jähten”. Fantastisch, um es mit Svens Worten zu sagen, dass dieses Rätsel nun gelöst wurde dank Sherlock Fechner und Dr. Zeitler. Bildbearbeitung: Acorn, iPhoto Bashing, Geotagging Andreas räumt auf. Zu aller Erst macht er auf die Untat schlechthin aufmerksam: Acorn - die Photoshop-Alternative der Herzen - haben wird völlig unerwähnt gelassen in der letzten Episode. Das geht so gar nicht, deshalb sagt er uns was im supergut gefällt: Es ist das Crop-Tool. Patrick muss sich da erst einmal die Ohren waschen gehen, denn das ist sein Aufreger Nummer eins bei Acorn… so unterschiedlich sind die Geschmäcker. Was Andreas einwandfrei findet ist, dass man einfach nur C drücken muss und dann ein halbautomatischer Algorithmus schon einmal die Ecken korrekt anschneidet. Gerade bei Screenshots ist das wohl super handy. Patrick hingegen gefällt nicht, dass es keinen Shortcut gibt, um automatisch die Breite auf beiden Seiten zu erweitern oder verringern. Teil 2 des Re-Bashings ist, dass iPhoto ja bei Sven und Patrick schlecht abgeschnitten in der letzten Folge. Über dieses grobe Faul war Andreas not amused. Deshalb schlussfolgert er, das jemand der iPhoto einen Buhmann schimpft auch für Aperture ungute Worte von der Zunge fallen lassen müsse – beide haben ja schließlich auch dasselbe Library-Format. Patrick hustet sich einen Weg ans Mikrofon und führt an, dass er nichts über Aperture als Verwaltungsprogramm kommen lässt. Smartfolders und und und; da kann Herr iPhoto nicht mithalten. Gespannt erwarten jedoch alle wie gut bzw. karg, schlecht, abgespeckt der Nachfolger für OS X daherkommt… wenn er denn einmal da ist. Wo Andreas aber uneingeschränkt recht hat ist – ganz ohne Stop- und Warnschild, dass sind Geotags. Die werden nämlich von einigen Filter-Apps entfernt auf iOS – auch einige in der letzten Sendung genannte Apps sind nicht freizusprechen von dieser Greultat. Der nötige Umweg ist dann, diese mit einer App wie Mappr nachträglich wieder hinzuzufügen. Mutmaßlich wird das so gehandhabt, da die Apps den User nicht noch damit belästigen wollen, den Zugriff auf die hochheiligen Lokationsdaten freizugeben. Kurz: Nutzerfreundlichkeit und 0-Misstrauen vs. Features. Dubsmash & Co. So. Nun gibt’s endlich was richtiges. Ein digitales Kulturgut quasi. Instagram war nie wirklich Patrick sein Ding, Snapchat, Vine und Konsortien gehen völlig an ihm vorbei – er schiebt’s aufs Alter. Aber… ein leuchtender Lichtstrahl viel neulich vom Horizont direkt auf eine kleine Berliner App…. Dubsmash. Dieses Schmuckstück trifft genau Patricks Nerv. Hier darf man Lippensynchron faxen machen zu Audioschnipsel von der Dubsmash-Community. Da ist alles mit dabei von Harald Glööckler bis zu Bud Spender und Terence Hill Samples. Das Ergebnis ist ein kleines Video, dass ihr an die Oma oder euern Schwarm im Büro nebenan schicken könnt. Richtig gut. Auch wenn so die große Liebe zerbrechen sollte, das Video war es alle Mal wert. So viel steht fest. Artikel: Dubsmash, die neue Viral-App aus Berlin Snapselect Nachdem Sven so begeistert von Macphun Produkten ist, hat die Software-Schmiede nun jetzt für nur 13,99 € extra noch eine App rausgehauen. Damit sollt ihr fortan Bilder auf dem Mac einfacher aussortieren können. Nach einer ersten Probefahrt findet Patrick das Teil soweit ganz sympathisch und kann nun vielleicht schneller die Bilder von 6 Monaten aussortieren. Schaut einfach selbst. Im YouTube Kanal gibt’s auch noch mehr für die Leute die nicht so einfach die Patte raushauen wollen. Überschallneuigkeiten Mein Grundeinkommen Mein Grundeinkommen sammelt konstant Spenden bis die 12.000 € Marke erreicht ist. Dann wird das liebe Geld verlost und ein Glücklicher darf dann 1.000 € Grundeinkommen für ein Jahr lang beziehen kann. Ganz klar eine super Sache nach Patrick. Der wischt sich nun das Wasser aus den Augen und schaut was Sven als nächste Neuigkeit in der Hinterhand hat. Pyro — ein feuriges Wearable Bei dem PYRO Wearable brennt es einem im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes die Augenbrauen vor lauter Staunen weg. Das Armband erlaubt nämlich das Copperfield-mäßige Verschießen von brennenden Kugeln aus dem Handgelenk. Für 174 US$ stiehlt man damit jedem zukünftigen Apple Watch Besitzer die Show. Link zum Bild: Dhalsim Co-Pilot und Street Fighter 2 Pionier Patrick ist auch schon ganz aus dem Häuschen. Wenn es 2015 ein unnötiges Gadget sein darf, dann bitte schön dieses. Er klaut jetzt schon der Freundin heimlich Tampons, um so genug Patronen zu haben, wenn das Gadget irgendwann mal an seinem Handgelenk ist. Generali Versicherung und Wearables Auch die Krankenversicherer, in diesem Fall die Generali, kommen auf die Wearables. Tarifanpassungen soll es entsprechend der Schrittzahl auf dem eignen FitBit geben — am besten vor dem nächsten Check schnell noch den Schrittzähler bei dem Schleudergang in die Waschmaschine schmeissen oder dem eigenen Vierbeiner an’s Halsband knipsen um die Stats zu pushen. Zack. Schon seid ihr im kostengünstigeren Tarif. Der Übercast weiß wie’s geht. Keine Ursache. Weiterlesen. Microsoft kauft HockeyApp Microsoft acquires HockeyApp: http://t.co/hwgDUvy2xU— HockeyApp (@hockeyapp) December 11, 2014 Mehr Info: HockeyApp joines Microsoft Microsoft acquires HockeyApp, leading mobile crash analytics and beta distribution service for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone Damit ist wohl noch auch die letzte “große” Beta Testing Platform aufgekauft. TestFlight hat sich ja Apple geschnappt und Crashlytics ist seit einiger Zeit bei Twitter beheimatet. Flic - Bluetooth Button Für alle, aber vor allem für Patrick, die gerne eine Interaktion zwischen der physischen und der virtuellen Welt herstellen wollen gibt es jetzt den Bluetooth Button FLIC. Diese Go-Go-Gadgetetto Knöfpchen verbindet sich mit dem Smartphone und schickt dann bei einmal drücken eine Email an die Schwiegermutter, startet bei zweimal Drücken automatisch die nächste Game of Thrones-Folge oder verpasst eurem Erzfeind einen Stromschlag sofern ihr ihn dazu bewegen könnt das in Deutschland illegale Add-on zu tragen. Bei der Gelegenheit verweist der physisch-virtuelle Grenzgänger Patrick gerne nochmals auf ein Alternativprodukt namens ‘Pressy’ und den ‘Bttn’ für IFTTT. Workflow - Mächtig viel iOS Automatisierung gaaaanz easy Quelle: Workflow – Powerful automation made simple. So, nun ist die App endlich draußen und Patrick hat eine neue App in seiner persönlichen Top 5. Schaut’s euch einfach an. Damit kann sogar Oma ein Ani-GIF erstellen und dem Hauspudel automatisch ein ★★★★★ Menü kredenzen. Ein klasse Pinsel. COBI – Connected Biking – Ein Kickstarter aus Deutschland Schön, wenn Hardware-Innovationen auch mal aus Deutschland kommen. Das Team von iCradle bastelt mit COBI daran euer Fahrrad ein ziemliches Stück intelligenter zu machen. Wenn es die Biker unter euch begeistert, was da in Frankfurt ersonnen wird, dann schmeißt gleichmal ein paar Euro ins Kickstarter-Schweinderl, auch wenn das Projekt schon erfolgreich gefundet ist! Für Hipster-Single-Speeds übrigens gänzlich ungeeignet — rein optisch, natürlich. Giveaway iPhone 6 und iPhone 6 Plus Der Übercast scheut wieder mal keine Kosten und Mühen. Ist ja auch Weihnachten… deshalb gibt’s nun ein iPhone 6 und ein iPhone 6 Plus zu gewinnen… und zwar diese Zwo hier: Da hat @_patrickwelker tatsächlich schon die neuen iPhone 6 “Übercast” Editions am Start. pic.twitter.com/caxsV7Phw0— Der Ubercast (@derubercast) September 10, 2014 Der Clou ist natürlich das die Geräte handsigniert an die Gewinner geschickt werden. Um diese Prunkstücke zu gewinnen bitte auf Twitter den folgenden Tweet absetzten: »#ichwilleinkind von @derubcerast und außerdem ein Limited Edition iPhone 6 für meinen goldenen Schrein.« Der Hashtag in Kombination mit unserem Twitter-Handle ist das einzig wichtige. Beim Rest könnt ihr auch kreativ sein. Viel Glück. Notizen im Allgemeinen Welche Arten von Notizen macht ihr? Diese Frage wird in die Runde geworfen von Patrick. Er jedenfalls macht oft kurze Notizen, welche in folgende Kategorien passen: - Kommandozeilen-Befehle - Webseiten "Erinner-Mich" abseits von Pinboard.in in einer TEMP Datei (Scratch file) - Geschenkideen und so was - Wichtige Daten-Schnipsel, zum Beispiel wann die beste Zeit ist, um mit Tomaten zu reden Mittlere oder längere Notizen umfassen bei ihm StackExchange Antworten, Entwürfe für Emails oder Forenbeiträge, Dokumentationszusammenfassung (z.B. die wichtigsten Features und Tastaturkürzel für eine App). Was er nicht mehr in nvALT haut sind so Sachen wie Rezepte oder die eigenen Blog Posts, dafür hat er mittlerweile eigene Ordner. Auch Sven nutzt ein digitales Scratchpad für kurze Notizen. Im Business macht er natürlich auch Notizen, meist unterscheidet er zwischen Notizen, die als Referenz zu werten sind und denen die eher temporären Charakter haben. Genauso oft kommt es bei ihm aber zu handschriftlichen Notizen: Sven ist ja ein Verfechter der analogen Kunst. Er ist irgendwie beim “Klassiker” hängen geblieben und nutzt das Moleskine Cahier Journal in der Variante “groß & nackt”, sprich A5 und unliniert (2er Pack für 10,50€). Für Meetings sind bei dem Business-Tiger handschriftliche Notizen immer noch zu werten als die höflichste Form. Zudem sind sie ideal um sich kreativ auszutoben, z.b. mit Sketch Noting oder Scribbeln. Von Moleskine gibt es inzwischen auch eine ganze Reihe an Evernote kompatiblen Notizbücher, aber Scanbot tut es im Zweifel auch. Übrigens, Moleskins Sachen gibt es mittlerweile auch in der Galleria Kaufhof. Für die modischen Kleinschreiber unter euch, die ihr Notizbuch gerne in der Hosentasche verknicken gibt es natürlich die äußerst hippen, aber in Deutschland nach wie vor sehr seltenen Field Notes Notizbücher. Die Editionen sind wirklich außergewöhnlich, hierzulande gibt es allerdings maximal die Standardausgaben. Aber wenn ihr in einer größeren Stadt wohnt, so stehen die Chancen laut Patrick nicht schlecht, dass ihr in der Papeterie eures Vertrauens auch mal exotischere Field Notes findet. Da Sven zu den Stiftverlierern gehört (und’n alter Turnbeutelvergesser ist,) greift er bei Stiften nach einigen teuren Lehrstücken auf den günstigen, aber sehr guten Pilot G2 Gelstift zurück. Bei 3 Stück für 7,98€ sind einzelne Verluste einigermaßen zu verkraften. Wenn es denn dann einmal bunt wie ein Pfau werden soll im analogen Notizbuch, dann greift Wolkenstürmer Sven auf die Muji Gel Pens 0.5mm zurück. Der schlägt mit ca. 1,30 € pro Stück zu buche. Das Sketch Note Buch (24,99 €) findet Sven auch gut. Denn wer seine trögen handschriftlichen Notizen visuell etwas aufwerten will und damit auch einen völlige neue Zuhör-Notiz-Ratio erleben will, der sollte sich dringend das Sketchnote Buch von Mike Rohde zulegen. Im Juni in Episode 6 war Patrick noch kein Analoger, jetzt ist er’s aber und dankbar dafür. Andreas bleibt eisenhart und fährt unbeeindruckt rein digital weiter. Denn, wie die meist schwarz-weiße Applewerbung, so fährt Andreas das Minimalprogramm. Wenn es mal irgendetwas gibt, dass es wert ist erfasst zu werden, dann hält er diese Notizen meist nur kurz und temporär fest. Meetingnotizen macht er beispielsweise in Mindmaps, Sachen die er lernt werden hingegen direkt an dem Ort gespeichert, wo er Referenzen ablegt. Als jemand der mal Snippets als Code Snippet Manager genutzt hat auf dem Mac (nun ist es doch wieder nvALT + Markdown) fragt Patrick sich, was Andreas dafür nutzt seinen C-o-d-e verwaltbar zu machen. Des ischt klar beim Andi, denn der war lange Zeit CodeBox sehr zugetan, nun benutzt er Dash. Ein Tipp für die analogen “Code”-Manager aus Wien, hier gibt es übrigens auch eine vortreffliche iOS App für genau diesen Spezialfall… die Vor- und Nachteile des Gackerl Sackerl wurden ausführlich vor der Sendung erörtert… in der Sendung schleicht es sich auch immer mal wieder ein. Hach ja, Fäkalhumor ist schon was feines. Mac & iOS Patrick’s Anfänge waren bei Circus Ponies NoteBook, eine App die ähnlich wie Microsofts OneNote alles kann und dabei den Charme eines Papiernotizbuchs per Software vermitteln will. Heute gibt es auch “modernere” Looks, welche das analoge Flair auf den Mac bringen. Da keiner von uns ein wirklicher Fan von dem Ansatz ist, gibt es leider, leider auch keine Links. Wovon aber Sven und Patrick und eventuell auch der mindnodige Andreas Fans sind, dass ist nvALT von Brett Terpstra (Urvater der App: Notational Velocity). nvALT ist Patrick’s Notizen-Hub. Mit 88 mp/h geht’s Zurück in die Zukunft und mit 88% ist auch die Wahrscheinlichkeit gesetzt, dass er nvALT am jeweiligen Tag nur zur Suche benutzt. Falls er die Datei dann doch einmal länger editiert macht er das per Shortcut und öffnet die Datei in FoldingText, SublimeText oder wo auch immer. Übrigens, … in diesem Post beschreibt Patrick wie er geschwind wie der Wind seine Notizen mittels Keyboard Maestro ablegt: Updated Notes Palette Filing Macro. Ach ja… FoldingText findet Patrick auch “besonders cool”, da es rein von der sauberen Ansicht her ein Art Marked mit Editiermöglichkeiten ist. Inline-Links zeigt die App nur als Links an, deshalb wirkt euer Markdown extrem sauber, fast wie Rich Text. An dieser Stelle sei auch Typora empfohlen, welches sich momentan in der Betaphase dem wagemutigen Tester bereitwillig in die Arme wirft (Danke an dieser Stelle für den Tipp an Passagier @confluencepoint). Wir halten fest: nVALT ist super… für kleine Notizen, zum schnellen auffinden von Textdateien, und bei Patrick immer offen, da es rank und schlank im vertikalen Modus kaum Platz wegnimmt. Für Neulinge merkt Sven auch gerade einmal das Erkennungsmerkmal von nvALT schlechthin an: Die Suchmaske dient gleichzeitig auch dazu Textdateien zu erstellen. Sven schreibt dort seine Meeting-Notizen (fortlaufender Weise). Somit kann er je nach Projekt den letzten Stand schnell erkennen und quasi an Ort und Stelle weiterschreiben. Dazu nutzt er natürlich gerne TextExpander. Die Magie von TextExpander haben wir ja schon in UC#014 ausführlich vorgestellt und natürlich ist gerade das Notizen erfassen eine der Bereiche in der TextExpander Unglaubliches vollbringt. Beim Erfassen von Gesprächsnotizen - besser bekannt als “Meeting Minutes” - helfen beispielsweise kleine Snippets für das Datum, optische Trenner, Aufgaben oder einzelne Wörter, die öfters genutzt werden. Natürlich kann man sich auch mit großen Snippets, die die gesamte Notizstruktur vorgeben helfen. Auf OS X unterstützt jeder Editor TextExpander, bei iOS ist es ggf. etwas eingeschränkt, aber die allermeisten ernsthaften Editoren bieten ein Sync mit den TextExpander Snippets an, und, für den Notfall gibt es ja noch das TextExpander Customer Keyboard auf iOS 8. Für seine Meeting-Notizen nutzt Sven auch Trick 17 - welchen auch Patrick sehr hoch schätzt - … Trommelwirbel… Trick 17 ist: Einfach die GitHub-Style Checkboxen für Tasklisten nutzten. Das sieht so aus im Rohformat: - [ ] Aufgabe 1 - [x] Aufgabe 2 - [x] Aufgabe 3 - [ ] Aufhabe 4 Aufgabe 2 und 3 sind quasi erledigt und der Rest noch nicht. Sven exportiert das ganze als Rich Text mit Marked 2 und erntet staunende Blicke. Im Kontext sieht das ganze so aus: Link zum Bild: Mettwurst Minutes Sven’s Marked Template: DOWNLOAD Alternative für nvALT: bawigga/nvalt-prime Marked, den “Markdown Viewer auf Steroiden” haben wir auch schon des öfteren erwähnt. Bei Notizen eignet er sich nicht nur zur Betrachtung (inkl. Ein- und Ausklappen einzelner Sektionen), sondern auch zum nachhaltigen Beeindrucken von Kollegen und Kunden im Bezug auf “Meeting Minutes”. Zum einen werden viel zu selten welche gemacht, zum anderen sehen sie dann meist aus wir Kraut und Rüben. Sven nutzt nvALT zum Erfassen von Meeting Minutes und verwendet dabei die GitHub-style Checkboxen, die nvALT und Marked 2 von Haus aus unterstützt werden, um Aufgaben herauszustellen. Dank einer eignen, kleinen CSS Datei in Marked 2 erstellt er dann eine ansehnliche und “professionelle” Version von der dann das RTF kopiert (⌥⇧⌘C) und als Email versendet wird. Hinterlässt immer Eindruck! nvALT unterstützt ja auch Tags. Patrick nutzt aber die nativen Tags von nvALT nicht. Die nehmen ihm erstes zu viel Platz weg (da so unter dem Dateinamen noch eine Zeile rutscht) und zweitens sind die, wie Andreas so schön punktgenau einwirft… zu kompliziert einzubinden. Patrick schreibt einfach in der ersten Zeilen tags: ubercast todo. Das ist mit nvALT immer noch schnell auffindbar und wird in einer Markdown Preview ignoriert, da es durchgeht als YAML Front-Matter (LMGTFY). Sven taggt kaum, aber wenn, dann nutzt er die nvALT-Option. Wobei er selbst anmerkt, dass er sich in der App die Tags auch sparen könnte. Wo hingegen er konsqeunt alles durchtaggt wie der wilde Förster aus Ungerbach, dass ist Evernote. Hier wiederum macht er aber keine Notizen, sondern lagert nur langfristig aufzuhebende Referenzen (z.B. Rezepte). ACHTUNG: Falls ein Hörer wirklich in Evernote ablegt, dann melden, sagen wie, was, wo und den Seltenheitswert bestätigen lassen von uns. An diesem Punkt in der Show fragt Patrick, wie Sven nvALT nutzt, im horizontalen oder vertikalen Modus. Für das V wie vertikal bekommt er ein High Five, aber beim Blick auf die Show Notes stellt sich raus, das dies eine Falschaussage war. SAY WHAAAT? Das High Five wird Sven F. hiermit umgehend offiziell entzogen. Sven… so sieht das vertikale Layout aus: Link zum Bild: Sehr vertikal, mein Lieber. Bei Patrick erstreckt sich das nvALT Fenster über die komplette Bildschirmhöhe und ist meist ganz rechts zu finden. Er zieht Sven auch noch einen weiteren Nerdpunkt ab, da dieser keine Monotype Schrift nutzt. MindNode ist ja nach wie vor Andreas sein Ding. Er schreibt sich auch zu seinen Meetingnotizen immer das Datum und die Uhrzeit dazu. Sven will wissen, wie er die Datei dann wiederfindet, doch für Andreas ist MindNode nur die Zwischenstation. Diejenigen Aufgaben welche sich herauskristallisiert haben, übertragt Andreas in seinen Task-Manager und die Mindmap kommt ins Archiv. MindNode MindNode iOS MindNode Mac Sven ist da eher kurios, denn er exportiert sich seine MindNotes als PDF und haut die in Evernote. Dort ist ja dann alles auch dank Auto-OCR auffindbar. Wenn er noch ein Bienchen dazuverdienen will, dann kommt die MindMap als Zip noch mit in die Notiz. Evernote ist bei Patrick mittlerweile nur noch der Ort an dem “seltene Gäste” landen, also Sachen die er nur ganz selten aufmacht und die unwichtig sind. Zum Beispiel sowas wie geplante Anschaffungen für den Haushalt. Bei dem vielen Gerede um Evernote stellt sich raus, dass keiner die App nutzt um Notizen zu erstellen. Patrick fällt da spontan Metanota ein, welches als Client für Simplenote und Evernote auf dem Mac funktioniert und ein wenig nvALT-Charme versprüht. Für’s Protokoll: Andreas ist kein Evernotenutzer, geschweige denn Evernotefreund. Wenn es denn mal an die Endablage geht, also den Ort des Archivierens, so hält Andreas das tatsächlich und unglaublicherweise in DayOne fest. Die Piloten müssen da natürlich nachbohren, da die App hat ja bei ganz regulären Kunden den Ruf einer guten Tagebuch-App genießt. Andreas erklärt, dass dort die Notizen landen, welche schon mehrere Revisionen hinter sich haben und als solides Gedankengut von seiner Murmel gewertet werden. Eine Notiz, die ein solch durchdachtes Machwerk darstellt kann also schon einen Tagebucheintrag wert ist. Das wird abgesegnet und wir können weiterfliegen. So um alles unter einem Hut zu haben und möglichst wenig Apps am Start zu haben, wird ja bei Sven Write genutzt. War ja schließlich mal sein Pick und ist auf iOS und dem Mac vorhanden. Bei Andreas hat der Pick sozusagen Früchte getragen und Write schlägt Wurzel in seinem Dock und auf dem iOS Homescreen. Derjenige der schwankt, ob er Write oder Ulysses wirklich braucht ist Patrick. Er hat zwar rein proforma Ordner angelegt für Notizen, Todos, Listen und sein Wiki, aber LaunchBar tut den Trick auch und öffnet seine Textdateien in den Ordnern ebenfalls zügig. Auf iOS bevorzugt er 1Writer, welches er so eingestellt hat, dass automatisch die Markdown Preview aufgeht. Hier noch einmal ein Beispiel zu einer typischen Markdown Liste im GitHub Task-Style: - [ ] [The Big Lebwoski](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/) - [ ] [Gentleman Broncos](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1161418/) - [x] [Doctor Who (1963–1989)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056751/) - [x] [Star Wars: Episode VII](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2488496/) In FoldingText auf dem Mac sieht das so (sauber) aus: Link zum Bild: FoldingText Watchlist … und in 1Writer, dass ebenfalls GitHub style tasks unterstützt sieht die Listenansicht ebenfalls schick aus und kann auch zum abhaken genutzt werden: Link zum Bild: 1Writer Watchlist Write hin oder her. Sven ist nicht so recht zufrieden, dass die vielen Schnittstellen mit Box, Dropbox und Co. nicht so 1:1 auf iOS widergespiegelt werden. Deshalb ist er nun wieder komplett zurück bei nvALT. Für iOS hat er keinen wirklichen Favoriten und räumt zeitgleich ein, dass er dort auch “nicht wirklich viel Notizen anlegt”. Andreas ist auf iOS auch sparsam unterwegs und erstellt wenig Notizen dort – wenn dann nutzt er aber Drafts. Wo er ebenfalls fleißig Notizen macht, ist im OmniFocus Notiz-Feld. OmniFocus ist sein Scratchpad. In der App kann er dann auch gerade noch die Punkte eintragen, welche zum vervollständigen der Notiz nötig sind. So kann aus seiner Notiz evtl. auch einmal ‘ne Email werden oder weitere Tasks entstehen aus dem Nichts. Danach kann er immer noch festlegen, ob diese Notiz dann z.B. ein Zuhause als Blogartikel in Write findet, als DayOne-Eintrag oder als Email oder als …. OmniFocus OmniFocus iPhone OmniFocus iPad OmniFocus Mac Attachments Drafts ist auch Sven sein Ding. Was Andreas gerade für OmniFocus geschildert hat, findet er an Drafts so toll. Eine App, die wie Drafts auf iOS Notizen aufnimmt und einem dann erlaubt diese weiterzusenden an OmniFocus, Trello und Co. wäre sein Traum für den Mac. Das fehlt für ihn irgendwie… auch wenn das jetzt schon geht mit Alfred, LaunchBar und Keyboard Maestro. Kurz, der Fechner hätte halt lieber eine App mit Action Directory. Tipp: Gehe mal auf www.eierlegendewollmilchsauapp.de. Patrick merkt an, dass er so eine App auch doll-doll-doll finden würde. Allerdings muss diese dann ihre Actions ähnlich wie .Choose, sein Pick von letzter Woche, oder SublimeText die Actions bereitstellen. Kurz: Einfach aufrufbar und durchsuchbar sein per Tastaturkürzel (siehe ↓). Link zum Bild: Suchleisten in choose und SublimeText Drafts findet Patrick natürlich auch schnieke, aber zum Suchen und Editieren auf iOS nutzt er Editorial, weil man dort ähnlich wie bei Write, Ulysses, 1Write, etc. Ordner aufrufen kann und spezifizierte Suchanfragen starten kann. Link zum Bild: Editorial Ordner Bookmark Link: Editorial Workflow — Bookmarks Folder Zurück zum Entwickler der Herzen. Fast fühlt es sich so an, als wenn der große Brett Terpstra iOS Editor Vergleich etwas Staub gefangen hat, trotzdem bleibt er ein guter Anlaufpunkt für alle, die den richtigen Editor für ihr iPhone oder iPad noch nicht gefunden haben. Falls also bei euch nix dabei ist, schaut mal auf der Webseite von Brett vorbei. Nachdem Tobias Günther von Fournova uns ja in Flug #UC009 die Stuttgarter App Kards.io in gepickenter Form unter die Nase gerieben hat, fragt Patrick nun in die Runde, ob die Herren Co-Piloten denn auch bestrebt sind möglichst kurze Notizen zu machen? Bei Kards ist diese Herangehensweise explizit empfohlen. Die App ist darauf ausgelegt kleine Notizen - das kann auch mal nur eine URL oder eine Zeile sein - aufzunehmen bzw. aufzufinden. Im übrigen eine Methode, die auch von vielen nvALT Nutzern propagiert wird. Patrick selbst hat mit der Adaption von Kards, sowie mit ausschließlichen Einzeiler-Notizen so ein wenig seine Probleme. Er schreibt gerne auch mal mehr und was Kards angeht, da verzichtet er ungern auf die konstante Hochzeit welche Dropbox mit den iOS Texteditoren Tagein-Tagaus feiert. Kards für den Mac ist noch in der Beta und ein iOS-Client ist vorerst nicht in Sicht. Andreas benutzt Kards häufiger. In der Tat ist das Konzept auch so spannend, dass jeder Pilot es uneingeschränkt dem geneigten Hörer (oder Leser in diesem Fall) ans Herz legt. Also, Webseite aufrufen, Beta-Einladung anfordern, selbst ein Bild machen. Last but not least… Notability ist auch noch was, was beim Herr Zeitler unter den digitalen Stift kommt: Notability Webseite Notability iOS Notability Mac Web-Empfehlungen Simplenote ist immer noch eine der besten Apps was Notizen angeht. Hinzu kommt der schnellste Sync weltweit und die Möglichkeit eine Datei kollaborierend zu teilen oder die Vorschau des Markdown Files öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. StackEdit – In-browser markdown editor ist auch noch eine nette Geschichte für Browserfetischisten. Man kann hier Dropbox, GoogleDrive & Co. verlinken. Ganz am Rande: Der Author nimmt auch Spenden entgegen. Alternativen zu StackEdit sind für Dropbox-Nutzer definitiv vorhanden, insbesondere wer bereit ist ein paar Euros zu zahlen hat mit TextDrop einen soliden Editor zur Hand.
